The highest deep inguinal node, lying medial to the femoral vein within the femoral canal just below the inguinal ligament, is known as:

• A Node of Lund
• B Cloquet's (Rosenmuller) node ✓
• C Sappey's node
• D Troisier's node

Explanation

Cloquet's node, also called Rosenmuller's node, is the most proximal node of the deep inguinal chain and sits in the femoral canal medial to the femoral vein. It drains to the external iliac nodes and is examined during inguinal block dissection because its involvement signals proximal spread beyond the groin. Troisier's node is the left supraclavicular node, and Node of Lund refers to gallbladder anatomy.
