in the axillary (or armpit)
region of the body.
Auxillary nodes perform the vital function of filtration
and conduction of lymph from the upper
limbs, pectoral region, and upper back.
There are five axillary lymph node groups,
namely the lateral (humeral), anterior (pectoral),
posterior (subscapular), central
and apical nodes.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeEnlarged<a name="LymphNodeAbnormalityTypeCS-NodeEnlarged"> </a></td><td>Node enlarged</td><td>Swollen lymph nodes usually occur as a result of
infection from bacteria or viruses.
Rarely, swollen lymph nodes are caused by cancer.
Lymph nodes, also called lymph glands, play a vital
role in the body's ability
to fight off infections.
Lymph nodes function as filters, trapping viruses,
bacteria and other causes of illnesses
prior to infecting the body.

Common areas subject to swollen lymph nodes include
the neck, under chin,  armpits and groin.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeFocalCortex<a name="LymphNodeAbnormalityTypeCS-NodeFocalCortex"> </a></td><td>Node focal cortex</td><td>The mammogram and/or ultrasound show enlargement
of the cortex.
Metastatic deposits accumulate in the lymph node
peripheral area, causing enlargement of the cortex,
usually focal (at early stages), or uniform.

deltopectoral lymph nodes (or
infraclavicular nodes) are found beside the cephalic
vein, between the pectoralis
major and deltoideus, immediately below the clavicle
.
Lymph nodes are situated in the course of the external
collecting trunks of the arm.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeIntramammary<a name="LymphNodeAbnormalityTypeCS-NodeIntramammary"> </a></td><td>Node intramammary</td><td>Intramammary lymph nodes are defined as lymph nodes
surrounded by breast tissue.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeLymph<a name="LymphNodeAbnormalityTypeCS-NodeLymph"> </a></td><td>Node lymph</td><td>Abnormal lymph node viewed on ultrasound and/or ultrasound.
Enlarged lymph nodes may warrant comment, clinical
correlation and additional evaluation, especially

to previous examination.

nodes found just above the clavicle

Lymph nodes are responsible for filtering the lymphatic
fluid of unwanted debris

lymph node metastases on US include a round morphology,
hypoechogenicity, loss of central hilum, or eccentric
cortical hypertrophy.</td></tr></table></div>
