✦ Synopsis
T he axilla contains various mesenchymal tis- sues, such as fat, vessel, nerve, and lymph node, from which various disorders can develop. 1 The most common palpable axillary masses are lymph node metastases from breast cancer. Softtissue tumors developing in the axilla are relatively rare but should remain included in the differential diagnosis of a palpable axillary mass.
The purpose of this pictorial essay is to present a spectrum of various axillary masses with their correlative imaging and pathologic findings, while focusing on their sonographic appearances.
