In short, it is the pelvic lymphatic system/pelvic lymph nodes.
The external iliac vein drains into the common iliac vein as it enters the pelvis.
Same artery is called as femoral artery. Here it enters the thigh and femur is the thigh bone.
The descending aorta divides near the brim of the pelvis to form the common iliac arteries. These arteries further branch into internal and external iliac arteries to supply blood to the pelvis and lower extremities.
At the inferior end of the abdominal aorta, it splits into the left and right common iliac arteries, which further branch into internal and external iliac arteries supplying blood to the pelvis and lower limbs.
The iliac area of the abdomen is also referred to as the iliac fossa.
The external iliac vein drains into the common iliac vein as it enters the pelvis.

The function of the common iliac vein is to drain into the inferior vena cava. The common iliac vein forms in the abdomen and is a connection of the internal and external iliac vein.
The iliac nodes are located in the pelvis, specifically along the iliac vessels. They are divided into external and internal iliac lymph nodes, which are situated near the respective external and internal iliac arteries. These nodes play a crucial role in draining lymphatic fluid from the lower limbs, pelvic organs, and some abdominal structures.
The muscles that attach to the iliac crest are the external oblique, internal oblique, and quadratus lumborum.
