Spanish term or phrase: zona linfoportadora

This term appears in a physical exam report from Mexico. The doctor is describing the breast exam and says:

"Mamas simétricas sin zona de sistematizacion ni *zonas linfoportadoras* ."

I find very few instances of this term in a google search. What does it mean, and how do we say it in English? I'm guessing it has to do with a check of the lymph nodes, but I have no idea what this refers to specifically.

Gracias por la ayuda.

25 mins confidence:

area of lymph node enlargement

Explanation:
I've been spending way too much time trying to figure this out. I ruled out "lymph drainage" because that's a normal condition and would therefore not be a negative ("ni"). I'm assuming the report is noting the absence of something they wouldn't want to find.

A physical examination of the breast reveals very little, and the only thing I can think of would be enlarged lymph nodes.

This term refers to the zone that surrounds a centinel node (first node attacked), once this node has been attacked by cancer cells and has spread the cells forward.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Gracias por la explicación Rafael, pero no encuentro 'lymphcarrier zones' en mi búsqueda en google. Tiene que existir algún otro término en inglés para decirlo.

lymph-bearing area

Explanation:
85 hits on Google for “lymph-bearing areas” and 72 hits for “lymph-bearing area”, including the following two (note: the term appears both hyphenated and not -- I think the hyphen is more correct):

1. linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S104306790400111X –
Physical examination including careful palpation of lymph bearing areas such as the neck, axillae, and groins for adenopathy amenable to

2. doi.wiley.com/10.1288/00005537-199406000-00012 –
the vulnerable bilateral lymph bearing area of the neck can be addressed adequately for elective or curative neck dissection.
