Transport of squamous cells from the peritoneal cavity to axillary lymph nodes in an infant with multiple
Pediatric Pathology
|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
A rare observation was made in a 14-day-old infant with atresia of the urethra, vagina, and anus. Keratinized squamous cells from the vagina were found on peritoneal surfaces and in the peripheral sinuses of axillary lymph nodes. The mechanism of the transport of the squamous cells is briefly discussed.

Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Transport
Lymphatic vessels, known as lymphatics, are crucial in transporting lymph from peripheral tissues to our venous system. This process begins with lymph entering through tiny capillaries that branch through tissues. These capillaries have unique features such as larger diameters, thinner walls, and a distinctive one-way valve system formed by overlapping endothelial cells.
This one-way system allows fluids, solutes, and even pathogens to enter but prevents their return to the intercellular spaces.

Development of the Lymphatic System
The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
