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. 


Valid for the following modalities: MG US.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeEnlarged<a name="AbnormalityLymphNodeTypeCS-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. 


Valid for the following modalities: MG US.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeFocalCortex<a name="AbnormalityLymphNodeTypeCS-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. 


Valid for the following modalities: US.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeIntramammary<a name="AbnormalityLymphNodeTypeCS-NodeIntramammary"> </a></td><td>Node intramammary</td><td>Intramammary lymph nodes are defined as lymph nodes 
surrounded by breast tissue. 


Valid for the following modalities: MG US.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeLymph<a name="AbnormalityLymphNodeTypeCS-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 
if new or considerably larger or rounder when compared 
to previous examination.

Valid for the following modalities: MG US.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeLymphNormal<a name="AbnormalityLymphNodeTypeCS-NodeLymphNormal"> </a></td><td>Node lymph normal</td><td>The lymph node appears normal and is probably benign. 


Valid for the following modalities: MG US.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeSupraclavicular<a name="AbnormalityLymphNodeTypeCS-NodeSupraclavicular"> </a></td><td>Node supraclavicular</td><td>The supraclavicular lymph nodes are a set of lymph 
nodes found just above the clavicle 
or collarbone, toward the hollow of the neck. 
Lymph nodes are responsible for filtering the lymphatic 
fluid of unwanted debris 
and bacteria. 


Valid for the following modalities: US.</td></tr><tr><td style="white-space:nowrap">NodeUniformThickness<a name="AbnormalityLymphNodeTypeCS-NodeUniformThickness"> </a></td><td>Node uniform thickness</td><td>The mammogram and/or ultrasound shows thickening 
of the cortex is an indicator of an early change 
in metastasis. 
The qualitative methods used for the diagnosis of 
lymph node metastases on US include a round morphology, 
hypoechogenicity, loss of central hilum, or eccentric 
cortical hypertrophy.
