title: [The anatomy and topography of lymphoid clusters in the walls of the human pharynx in postnatal ontogeny].
abstract: A macro-microscopic investigation was performed on preparations of the pharynx from 110 corpses of people practically healthy in their life-time. Lymphoid accumulations (prenodules) by the rhinopharynx are disposed mainly in the area of salpingo-pharyngeal folds and between them, in the oral part of the organ--near salpingo-pharyngeal folds and in the posterior wall. In children the lymphoid accumulations by laryngopharynx are found near the middle line of the posterior wall, while in adult people they are concentrated in the area of piriform recesses. In the rhinopharynx walls the lymphoid accumulations are adjacent immediately to the basal layer of the epithelium, by the oral and laryngeal parts of the organ they are disposed closer to the muscular layer. The maximum quantity of the lymphoid accumulations was observed in early childhood, it was twice lower in senile people. The greatest sizes of them were noted in juvenile age.
