A member asked:
Are abdominal lymph nodes around belly button palpable, or do they lie too deep in the abdomen to be felt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abdominal Anatomy: They are too deep to be palpated in the skin of your abdomen. Lymph nodes would only be detectable on ultrasounds or other ways of xraying (ct scan etc) the body.
