Posterior lymph node: Major cervical lymph node groups are located in "chains' along the anterior and posterior aspects of the neck. Posterior lymph nodes are located at the back of the neck. They receive lymphatic fluid from the head and neck and often become enlarged during upper respiratory tract infections, dental, throat and viral infections and should resolve. Seek medical evaluation for persistent swelling
