Lymph nodes found in the pelvis
Organs of the immune system
The common iliac lymph nodes , four to six in number, are grouped behind and on the sides of the common iliac artery , one or two being placed below the bifurcation of the aorta , in front of the fifth lumbar vertebra .
They drain chiefly the hypogastric and external iliac glands , and their efferents pass to the lateral aortic glands .
