How to distinguish between spuraclavicular lymph nodes and lymph nodes at base of neck. are spuraclavicular nodes 1-2 inch above clavicle?

Usually closer.: Location of lymph nodes can vary. The SC nodes lie just superior to the clavicle and generally non-palpable if not enlarged for some reason. They would be easily distinguished from cervical nodes. Google "map of lymph node locations".

By location: Supraclavicular (Not spuraclavicular) nodes are just above the clavicle. If you trace your finger from the base of your neck and right behind the clavicle going outwards towards the shoulder, you will feel a triangular space that ends when the clavicle bends backwards. Any lymph node in that area, will be Supraclavicular. Any lymph node at or above that base of neck is considered neck node.
