The tumor in his colon had spread to four of his lymph nodes and penetrated the bowel wall.

The bone marrow of the dead soldiers was depleted dramatically, and their lymph nodes had shriveled away.

If the lymph-nodes can conquer the germs and eat them up, the swelling goes down and the pain disappears.

The lymph-nodes may be congested, or edematous and hemorrhagic.

The lymph-nodes in the axill as well as in the groins and peribronchial nodes were normal.

Several enlarged lymph-nodes, smaller in size, could be followed down the neck on the left side.

One more function of the lymph nodes must be mentioned; this is their property in preventing the spread of cancer cells.
