What a axillary & groin lymph node ultrasound looks at

An ultrasound of the armpit or groin lymph nodes assesses swelling and helps guide any further tests. It is a safe, painless scan that uses sound waves — no radiation — and is interpreted by an experienced clinician who provides a clear written report.

An ultrasound of the armpit (axillary) or groin (inguinal) lymph nodes assesses swelling and helps guide any further tests. It is used for a lump in the armpit or groin, unexplained swollen glands, follow-up of known nodes, or assessment alongside a breast scan. As with neck nodes, we assess size, shape, internal structure and blood flow to separate reassuring from suspicious nodes.

One flat fee. Every diagnostic ultrasound is the same price — we do not itemise or add a separate report fee. See our price list for the current fee.

How to prepare and what to expect

No preparation is needed. Wear clothing that gives easy access to the armpit or groin. Point out the lump you have noticed so we scan the correct area. Your scan takes around 15–30 minutes. During the scan a small amount of warm gel is applied and the probe is moved gently over the area. It is painless and there is no radiation. You will receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards, with clear advice on any next steps. We are open 7 days a week, 9am–7pm, with same-day and walk-in appointments in Whitechapel, East London.

Axillary & Groin Lymph Node Ultrasound — common questions

What does a swollen armpit or groin gland mean?

Most are reactive nodes responding to a minor infection nearby. Ultrasound assesses whether a node looks reassuring or has features that warrant further tests.

Can this be done alongside a breast scan?

Yes. Assessing the armpit nodes is often done together with a breast ultrasound, and we can arrange both in the same visit.

How much does a axillary & groin lymph node ultrasound cost?

We charge one flat fee for any diagnostic ultrasound, with no itemising and no separate report fee. See our fees page for the current price.

Do I need a GP referral for a axillary & groin lymph node ultrasound?

No referral is needed for most scans — you can book directly. A small number of specialist scans are done on referral; we will tell you clearly if that applies.

How long does the scan take and when do I get results?

Most scans take 15–30 minutes and you receive a doctor-led written report, usually the same day or shortly afterwards.
