Dear khanmaria, The "nodus lymphoideus cysticus" - also called "nodus cysticus", "cystic node", "cystic lymph node", and "node of neck of gallbladder" - is a hepatic lymph node situated in the curve of the neck of the gallbladder at the junction of the cystic (=gallbladder) and common hepatic (=liver) ducts. It is responsible for draining lymph into the hepatic (=liver) nodes. Hepatic lymph nodes are nodes located along the hepatic (=liver) artery as far as the porta hepatis (=liver portal); they drain among other organs the liver and the gallbladder.

in other words, it's a lymph node at the neck of the gallbladder, the presence of which is normal. It may or not be inflamed or otherwise abnormal if the gallbladder has something going on in it; but the mere presense of the node is expected. |
