Palpation- Supraclavicular node

The supraclavicular lymph nodes are a pair of lymph nodes found just above the clavicle or collarbone, toward the hollow of the neck. Swelling and pain in the lymph nodes are signs of an infection and sometimes, a malignancy. The swollen supraclavicular lymph nodes are easily felt as small painful lumps at the top of the collar bone. User can click on each marked lymph nodes (green spots) near the patient’s neck and note down the response.
