Lymph nodes

Small, bean-shaped masses of tissue scattered along the lymphatic system that act as filters and immune monitors, removing fluids, bacteria, or cancer cells that travel through the lymph system. Breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes under the arm or in the chest are a sign that the cancer has spread, and that it might recur.

lymph nodes,

n.pl compound structures in the lymphatic circulation system that filter the lymph.

lymph nodes, cervical,

n.pl chains of lymph nodes found in the neck, behind the chin and below the ear, divided into two levels: superficial and deep.

lymph nodes, occipital,

n.pl lymph nodes found near the lower back of the skull (i.e., the occiput) that drain into the deep cervical lymph nodes. Palpated to diagnose possible health complaints. See also cervical lymph nodes.

Patient discussion about Lymph nodes.

Q. tender protuding lymph node lump rt. arm pit aprox. 1/2" dia. any concerns or recommend treatment necessary?

A. lymph nodes can flare up any time you get infected in the armpit and all the area that it drains. i had it several times and it went away in the same manner that it came. i think that sometimes it caused because of a blockade done by deodorant. so i try to use this Chinese salt stone that doesn't contain aluminum.
