Central lymphatic disorders of the lung have not received intense investigation. Lymphatic system physiology is presented in the context of historical developments and basic lung lymphatic anatomy is reviewed followed by emerging characteristics of primary and secondary pathophysiological disturbances of lymphatic involvement in a number of pulmonary diseases including Gorham-Stout disease, pulmonary edema and infections and inflammatory conditions including lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). The future includes potential molecular targeting of lymphangiogenesis or lymphatic vessels for interventional occlusion. This article is an amalgamation of presentations at the 2023 ISL International Congress of Lymphology, Genoa, Italy in a special symposium on central and regional lymphatic system in health and disease and as part of a Special Symposium on the Lymphatic system of the Heart and Lung in Health and Disease at the 26th International Congress of Lymphology meeting held in Barcelona, Spain, September 2017, which has been updated to 2024.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
