A member asked:

On ultrasound they found a subcentimeter non enlarged lymph node on my right axilla?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is quite small: Lymph nodes are normally present in the axila. As long as they are under one Cm in size, they are considered benign and are not of much concern. Why did you have this test done in the first place???
