Causes of axillary lymph node enlargement

Because the location of lymph nodes in each group is relatively constant, and they receive lymphatic vessels from certain parts and organs, lymph node enlargement can provide a strong basis for disease diagnosis, selection of treatment options, and judgment of curative effect and prognosis.

When a certain part of the body or an organ is injured or infected, the bacteria, toxins and foreign bodies entering the lymph reach the local lymph nodes, which can be engulfed and cleared by the macrophages in the lymph nodes. At this time, the function of lymph nodes is enhanced. Under the stimulation of bacteria, toxins, foreign bodies and other antigens, macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells can proliferate rapidly. In addition, the congestion, exudation and infiltration of inflammatory cells in lymph nodes lead to lymph node enlargement. The cancer cells metastasized to the corresponding lymph nodes can also be blocked by the filtration mechanism, and infiltrate and proliferate in them, resulting in lymph node enlargement.

According to the history, it can often provide diagnostic clues. For example, acute lymphadenopathy is mostly caused by infection of various pathogens, often combined with fever and other symptoms. Chronic lymphadenopathy is more common in tuberculosis, connective tissue disease and tumor lymphadenopathy.
