subcapsular sinus of lymph node
A space between the capsule and the cortex which allows the free movement of lymphatic fluid and so contains a sparsity of lymphocytes. It is continuous with the similar lymph sinuses that flank the trabeculae. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_node#Subcapsular_sinus ]
Synonyms: lymph node subcortical sinus
