Subject: anyone ever heard of carotid gland?

This dictator says "ultrasound of the carotid dopper -- I mean carotid gland shows plaque and bilateral carotid bifurcations"


I've never heard of the carotids being referred to as a gland.  Is this correct?

question about gland
Subject: question about gland

This is a personal question.  I just took my 12yr old to the doctor because she has a bulging knot in the crease of her thigh just to the right of her vagina.  The doc said it was a swollen gland and put her on antibiotics.  I have been reseaching glands and was wondering if this particular gland had a name.  The doc talked like this could be serious, but maybe not.  I was in shock and did not ask the right questions.  Does anyone have any idea.  I know this is a site for workers (it has always been a help to me), but I am at a loss.  Thanks
