Hi,
Axillay lymph nodes drain breast and upper limb. Lymph node enlargement occurs either because of infection or malignancy in their drainage area. The two most common cause for this is tuberculosis or breast carcinoma. You need to get a mammograph and a montoux test done for a diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
