Hi there.
Enlarged lymph nodes found in the breast may signify several things. One is the possibility of an infection somewhere in the breast that can drain the infection towards the lymph nodes. The presence of infection can be seen as enlargement and swelling of the lymph nodes. Another possibility is malignancy. Some lymph nodes can enlarge in response to a malignant formation somewhere in the breast even if there are no obvious lumps or breast nodules.
Regards.
