Abstract

Gynecologic malignant tumors are prone to lymph node metastasis.The pelvic,abdominal,aortic,and inguinal regions are the most frequent sites of metastasis.Most gynecologic malignancies require lymph node dissection/biopsy.However,the anatomic nomenclature of lymph nodes in pelvic,abdominal,aortic and inguinal regions is not standardized,and the common pathways of lymph node metastasis have not yet been fully elucidated.The lymph node metastasis of common malignant tumors is also controversial.This paper will focus on the discussion.

Key words
