Anatomical terminology

Supraclavicular lymph nodes are lymph nodes found above the clavicle, that can be felt in the supraclavicular fossa. The supraclavicular lymph nodes on the left side are called Virchow's nodes.[1] It leads to an appreciable mass that can be recognized clinically, called Troisier sign.[2]
