A member asked:
Can there be lymph nodes under the right side of your rib cage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, the lymph system runs throughout the body. Swollen nodes can be seen in infection or neoplastic processes. I would not hesitate to be seen if you have noticed some persistently swollen nodes.
