A member asked:
What test will show if there are lymphnodes swollen in other parts of the body such as crease of arm and above the collar bone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few: Lymph nodes under the arm and above the collar bone that are swollen are generally palpable by a trained physician (they can feel them with the fingers). There are other tests such as ultrasound and lymphoscintigraphy that can visualize the nodes if they are not palpable.
