Fig. 2A. —Perinephric space bridging septa. Drawing of perinephric space at level of mid pole of kidney shows that perinephric space contains rich network of bridging septa (open arrows), lymphatics (solid arrow), arteries, and veins (arrowhead). Note that perirenal lymphatics communicate with small lymph nodes at renal hilum, and that these, in turn, connect with periaortic and pericaval lymph nodes. This lymphatic network provides potential route of spread for metastatic tumor into perinephric space. (Reprinted from [3])
