Abstract
The basic pattern of the lymphatic drainage of the testis is described in the mature albino rat following studies in vivo and the examination of dissected specimens in vitro. Microlymphography was undertaken using various contrast media. Three groups of lymphatics leave the surface of the testis--superior, medial and inferior, from the upper pole, from the mediastinum and from the lower pole respectively.
