A member asked:

I was wondering are the right supraclavicular lymph node palpable in fat people?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends : It depends on how big the node is and how much fat is in the supraclavicular fossa. In general the more fat there is in an area the harder it is to feel nodes.
