Lymph node ensures appropriate function of the immune system and contributes to filtration of foreign particles such as malignant cells. The lymph node is enclosed within a fibrous capsule and demonstrates an extrinsic cortex and an intrinsic medulla. Lymph node enlarges or appears inflamed within various diseases induced by bacterial or viral infections or on account of metastatic deposits of diverse epithelial and mesenchymal malignancies.
