A member asked:
Can severe fibrocystic breast disease cause enlargement of the armpit overall not lymph nodes?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes, it can. The breast tissue extends into the lower part of the armpit. This breast tissue can react in the same way as the rest of the breast does.
