Abnormal findings usually indicate infection, inflammation or cancer associated with the area they are found i.e.) enlargement of both the left and right supraclavicular lymph nodes may reflect disease in the thorax, left supraclavicular nodal enlargement, because of its drainage pattern, may also reflect the presence of abdominal involvement (ie, Virchow's node).
