Inguinal lymph nodes are the lymph nodes in the inguinal region. They are found in the femoral triangle, and are grouped into superficial nodes, and deep nodes.
The deep inguinal lymph nodes:
The mean size of an inguinal lymph node, as measured over the short-axis, is approximately 5.4 mm (range 2.1-13.6 mm), with two standard deviations above the mean being 8.8 mm. A size of up to 10 mm is generally regarded as a cut-off value for normal vs abnormal inguinal lymph node size.
