Where are your elbow lymph nodes

Where are the lymphnodes located in your elbow?
I have seen the maps of lymph nodes in the body- but since its only a flat picture its looks like it showing that they are on the part of your arm elbow that is away from your body  but id like to know exactly where.

Are they by the point of your elbow or on the other side (the inside- where blood is frequently drawn) Thanks!

There are lymph nodes in the elbow, if you bend your arm they are above the  boney part. My Pediatrician just checked them in my son who has swollen nodes in his neck and groin. They are just not commonly known.

There are no lymph nodes in the elbow; no elbow lymph nodes.
