Detailed explanation-1: -The inguinal lymph nodes are in the groin area and classify as superficial and deep. The superficial inguinal lymph nodes reside below the inguinal ligament and subdivide into the inferior, superolateral, and superomedial nodes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Swollen lymph nodes are usually a sign of infection. Swollen lymph nodes in the groin can result from viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, including some sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Infections in the feet and some cancers can also affect lymph nodes in the groin.
Detailed explanation-3: -The uppermost node is in the groin, under the inguinal ligament, and is called Cloquet’s node (also Rosenmuller’s node). This node is named for French surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet, or for German anatomist Johann Christian Rosenmüller. It can also be considered as the lowest of the external iliac lymph nodes.
