1.1.2. Nodal stations The major lymphatic trunks are the utero-ovarian (infundibulopelvic), parametrial, and presacral, which drain into the hypogastric, external iliac, common iliac, presacral, and para-aortic nodes. Although a direct route of lymphatic spread from the corpus uteri to the paraaortic nodes through the infundibulopelvic ligament has been suggested from anatomical and sentinel lymph node studies, direct metastases to the para-aortic lymph nodes are uncommon.
