Best Answer

The most likely cancer that would present as a mass in the arm pit is breast cancer. This is due to lymph node swelling, as a result of Breast cancer that has metastasized to lymph nodes in the "tail" of the breast tissue in and near the arm pit.

However, before becoming overly concerned about a swelling in the arm pit, check with your physician first. There are many more benign causes than malignant causes.
