A member asked:
Are small palpable lymph nodes in the armpit area almost always related to cancer? i have one that seems pea sized and easily moveable.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But any suspicious lymph node enlargement lasting more than a month should be checked by a doctor. Infection including viral ones is often associated with small lymph node enlargement.
