A member asked:
What does a non specific 8mm axillary tail lymph node mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The axillary "tail": generally refers to breast tissue which extends into the armpit. The 8 m lymph node is VERY SMALL probably smaller than can be felt. The findings are not generally serious and sound "within normal limits" Hope this helps! Dr Z
