Intramammary lymph nodes (IMLN) are lymph nodes within the breast tissue. They can be solitary or multiple. Normal intramammary lymph nodes may appear or enlarge in the breast as a reaction to inflammatory conditions of the skin. Anytime a woman is called back for evaluation of her breast, it's concerning. I have been there a few times myself! Further evaluation will provide answers. Definitely, follow up with your doctor and write down any questions you may have.
