Armpit pain can have many causes, ranging from injuries and irritants to infections that cause swollen lymph nodes. Less commonly, the pain—referred to as axillary pain—may be due to an autoimmune or ...

When the body fights an infection or injury, lymph nodes sometimes swell. Doctors call this a reactive lymph node. Treatment can depend on the cause. Lymph nodes house white blood cells.

The following is a summary of “Mediastinal staging lymph node probability map in non-small cell lung cancer,” published in the March 2025 issue of Respiratory Research by Bordas-Martinez et al.

Lymph nodes are part of the body’s immune system. A swollen lymph node in the armpit may be a sign of a bacterial or viral infection, an injury, or a serious health condition, such as cancer.

The PET-FDG showed an increased uptake value in the nodule (SUVmax 10.96) and the bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. The patient underwent EBUS, which was negative on the subcarinal and ...

In patients without distant metastasis, the presence of mediastinal lymph nodes involvement generally precludes curative resection in most cases. [33] Thus, EUS-FNA provides accurate information ...

The surgery is performed if tests show that the cancer has spread from the breast tissue to the lymph nodes and is often followed by radiation treatment. After the treatment, around 20-40 percent ...

There were 32 lymph nodes in mediastinal stations, resulting in a 32% “Skip-N2” SLN rate. Of interest, we also observed SLN in stations not routinely included in SLND, particularly in station 3a.

One of the more common symptoms of HIV is lymphadenopathy, a swelling of the lymph nodes in the armpits (axillary nodes), groin (inguinal nodes), neck (cervical nodes), chest (mediastinal nodes), and ...
