Abstract
Pelvic and paraaortal lymph nodes of 499 gynecologic cancer patients w ere screened for the occurrence of metaplastic changes and their topog raphic pattern. Glandular inclusions in lymph nodes were distributed e vently across all lymphatic areas and there was no correlation to the extent and the kind of carcinoma. In most cases the benign nature of t hese inclusions was obvious even in the presence of metaplasias and th ere was no difficulty in differentiating them from metastases.
