What lies between cystic duct and common hepatic duct?
Correct Answer: Lymph node
Description: The common hepatic duct is the duct formed by the convergence of the right hepatic duct (which drains bile from the right functional lobe of the liver) and the left hepatic duct (which drains bile from the left functional lobe of the liver). The common hepatic duct then joins the cystic duct coming from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct. The duct is usually 6-8 cm length and 6mm in diameter in adults. Lund's node is the sentinel lymph node of the gallbladder. It increases in size in cholecystitis and cholangitis. It is an anatomic landmark and is removed along with the gallbladder in cholecystectomy ref - BDC 6e vol2 pg 287-289
