True lymph nodes (the bronchopulmonary nodes) are not found until the first division of the lobar bronchi [115]. The hilar nodes, around the main lobar bronchi, form part of a large group clustered about the lung root. The nodes lying lateral and inferior to the tracheal bifurcation are the upper and lower tracheobronchial groups. The lower group lies in the carina and unites the tracheobronchial groups of the two sides. The upper tracheobronchial group is usually larger on the right. On the left side, one or more para-aortic nodes are separated from the upper tracheobronchial group by the aorta and pulmonary artery.
