mesenteric lymph node ileocecal lymph node 2023-05-11T12:09:21Z According to the Segen's Medical Dictionary, Farlex, Inc., 2011 the ileocaecal lymph node is an obsolete term that formerly dignified those ileocolic lymph nodes lying in the ileocaecal angle (https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/ileocaecal+lymph+nodes). However, this term is still used in domesticated animals as pigs (e.g. PMID:31031713), cats (e.g. PMID:35964104), sheeps (e.g. PMID:15493265) and calves (e.g. PMID:23000583). In few cases this term has been used in humans (PMID:32420296, PMID:35277366, PMID:31456616). Consider if appropriate as a subclass of ileocolic lymph node (UBERON:0016378).
