A member asked:
Can swollen lymph node in groin area be caused by stye in eye or something else?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Swollem lymph node in groin is secondary to a primary malignancy arising in the lymph node such as lymphoma or metastasis from a site of tumor growth on thigh, buttock or lower abdomen following the path of lymphatic drainage. An inflammatory process on eye will not drain the groin area.

No: A swollen lymph gland in the groin reflects something going on downstream, as in the rest of that leg. Lymph glands respond to bug bites, skin irritation or infections in the region that drains to them.In this case the leg.A random set of bug bites, ingrown toenail, or other process could cause this swelling.
