Location: Accompanies the deep circumflex iliac artery.
Drainage: External and internal abdominal oblique muscles.
Direction of Flow: Lateral external iliac nodes > common iliac lymph nodes > Lateral aortic lymph nodes (left) and lateral caval lymph nodes (right) > left and right lumbar lymph trunk > cisterna chyli > thoracic duct.

Description: (Location & Drainage)
The deep circumflex iliac lymph vessels belong to the deep lymph vessels of the abdominal wall.
The deep circumflex iliac lymph vessels accompany the deep circumflex iliac arteries (Földi et al., 2012). Their afferent vessels receive lymph from the external and internal abdominal oblique muscles, while their efferent vessels drain into the lateral external iliac nodes, more specifically the lowest nodes of the external iliac nodal group known as the lacunar nodes (Földi et al., 2012).
