What is Perivascular lymphoid tissue associated with the axillary lymph sinus and the lateral vein of Gehyra variegata (Reptilia: Gekkonidae) about?
## Abstract The axillary sinus of __G. variegata__ is formed from a perivascular lymphatic which locally invests the lateral vein. Within the sinus the wall of the vein is distended by lymphoid tissue which is itself supported by reticular fibres. Lymphocytes, reticular cells, macrophages and mast cells occur in the tissue. The overall appearance of the structure is lymph node‐like. Although __Cardianema__ sp. (Nematoda:Filarioidea) parasitised the lymphatic system of some geckos examined, the non‐pathologic origin of the lymphoid tissue is indicated by its presence in both axillae of infected and uninfected geckos alike. Comparison is made with lymph nodes and node‐like structures in other vertebrates.
