Fr-En aires ganglionnaires

May 16, 2000

Does anybody have an English translation for " aires ganglionnaires " ?

Context:

" L'examen clinique <snip>... L'examen neurologique ne montre pas

d'anomalie. Enfin, on élimine toute existence d'adénopathie dans les aires

ganglionnaires. "

I found a nice explanatory reference in French on the Web:

Les principales localisations métastatiques ganglionnaires.

Certaines peuvent être explorées par la clinique (palpation) : les **aires

ganglionnaires** inguinales [1], axillaires [5], cervicales [6] et

sus-claviculaires [8] dont la signification est très péjorative (ganglion

de Troisier). D’autres doivent être explorées par radiologie ou scanner :

les ganglions iliaques externes [2], iliaques primitifs [3],

lombo-aortiques [4] ou thoraciques [7].

I wonder if this isn't redundant in English -- seems like we would just say

(in my context) " there was no (palpable) lymphadenopathy " and leave it at

that. In any case, I can't think of any all-encompassing term for " the

areas in which lymph nodes occur " -- but it's late and I'm tired, and maybe

one of you can??

TIA,

Marla

Hi Marla,

As you know, the Hodgkin's disease classification (in 4 stages) is mainly

based on the extent of the involvement des aires ganglionnaires. So, in this

classification, I'm used to see LN regions and less often LN areas. LN =

lymph nodes.
