Lymph nodes are scattered throughout the body and their location is often not detected when located under fat or muscle. They are usually about 1 cm size at rest and enlarge when stimulated for weeks at a time. Being slim makes them east to find, it does not make them enlarge. Armpit nodes react to ant nearby stimulus on the arm or surface skin.
