Axillary Lymph Nodes
 All lymphatics from the upper limb drain into
axillary lymph nodes
 Receives drainage from
The upper back and shoulder
The lower neck
 The chest
The upper anterolateral abdominal wall
 75% of the mammary gland
Axillary Lymph Nodes
 20 – 30 lymph nodes
They are divided into 5 groups on the basis of
locations
 Humeral (lateral) nodes
 Pectoral (anterior) nodes
 Subscapular (posterior) nodes
 Central nodes
 Apical nodes
Axillary lymph nodes
Humeral (lateral) nodes
 Lies along the upper part of humerus, medial to
axillary vein
 Receives lymph from
The upper limb
Pectoral (anterior) nodes
 Lies along the lateral thoracic vessels
 Receives lymph from:
 Upper half of the anterior wall of trunk
Major part of the breasts
Axillary Lymph Nodes
Subscapular (posterior) nodes
 Lies along the subscapular vessels , on the posterior
fold of the axilla
 Receives lymph from:
The posterior wall of the upper half of the trunk
The axillary tail of the breast
Central nodes
 Lies in the fat of the upper axilla
 Receives lymph from:
Anterior, posterior, lateral groups
Axillary Lymph Nodes
Apical nodes
 Lies deep to the clavipectoral fascia along the axillary
vessels
 Receives lymph from:
The central group
The upper part of breast
The thumb and its web
Clinical Anatomy
 Lymphadenopathy
 Examination of axillary lymph nodes is important
in clinical practice.
