In your experience, how common is hodgkins lymphoma isolated only to the axilla? acc. to one old study(1993), hdgkins rarely presents solely in axilla

Why do you ask?: A Hodgkin's node is obviously abnormal. It's common for a twenty year old guy to have a few palpable nodes, and your armpit is a common place. Something as simple as a cut on your hand can make it grow. If you feel well, the lymph node isn't humongous or stuck to other stuff, and you're not losing weight or having night sweats, leave it alone, it's your friend.
