Axillary Lymph Nodes: Functions and Diagnostic Care at RadCare

The lymph nodes in the armpit area are a vital part of the immune system, responsible for filtering impurities and harmful substances from the body. However, these nodes can become enlarged due to various reasons, including:

Causes of Enlarged Axillary Lymph Nodes

1. Infections:

   • Examples include nail bed infections or other localized infections in the surrounding area.

2. Cancerous Conditions:

   • Skin Cancer (Melanoma): Can lead to lymph node enlargement as a sign of cancer spread.
   • Lymphomas: Result in abnormal growth of lymph nodes.

Importance of Medical Evaluation

If lymph node enlargement is observed, it is crucial to rule out any underlying cancer to ensure accurate diagnosis and early treatment.
