Bilateral axillary lymph nodes refer to lymph nodes located in the armpits on both sides of the body. These nodes play a crucial role in filtering and trapping harmful substances such as bacteria and cancer cells from the upper limbs, chest, breast, and upper abdomen. Swelling or tenderness in the bilateral axillary lymph nodes can be a sign of infection or disease.

What does bulky bilateral axillary adenopathy mean?

what is bilateral axillary adenopathy? In the medical sense bulky is used to describe lymph nodes that aren't just palpable (able to be felt with gentle massage of fingertips), they are obvious and large. Bilateral means both sides. The Axillar is the medical term for the armpit. Adenopathy is the inflammation/swelling of lymph nodes caused by infection or other disease processes. Therefore most common situation to find this description in would be a breast cancer patient with nodal spread to the axillar chain on both sides. The prognosis would therefore not be as good as a localised tumour, but surgury and radiotherapy combined could still radically treat it with luck.
