Is it normal to have lymph nodes under your ribcage? if i kind of scoop under my ribcage (front side of my body), i feel a lymph node that moves under my fingers on both sides of the ribcage?

BENIGN TUMOR: Lymph drainage is not superficial in that area. Although a fatty tumor is most likely , please consult a physician to be sure what it may be.
