Node of Cloquet
- uppermost node is in the groin, under the inguinal ligament,
- also called Rosenmuller’s node
Femoral sheath – also called the crural sheath
Node of Cloquet
Lies within the medial compartment of the femoral sheath
It is junctional point between the external iliac lymph chain and the deep inguinal nodes.
Predictive value of metastatic deposits in Cloquet’s node for deep pelvic malignancy –
Positive predictive value of 70% and a negative predictive value of 84%- means that the decision on whether to perform deep pelvic lymphadenectomy can potentially be made based on a sentinel node biopsy of the node of Cloquet.
Femoral triangle -contents (lateral to medial) :
- Femoral nerve – Innervates the anterior compartment of the thigh, provides sensory branches for the leg and foot.
- Femoral artery – Majority of the arterial supply to the lower limb.
- Femoral vein – The great saphenous vein drains into the femoral vein within the triangle.
- Femoral canal – contains deep lymph nodes and vessels.
