The retro-pectoral nodes are of importance only in so far as they confirm the necessityof removing the pectoral muscles in the radical operation for cancer. They are situatedbetween the two pectoral muscles and along the course of the subclavian accessorylymphatic trunk which Grossman first described. These nodes are found according toRotter in 50 per cent, of cases. The deep cervical plexus is (practically) a subsidiary oradjacent system, however, but is of the utmost importance as all of the axillary sub-groups are in indirect communication with some of its inferior nodes which are frequentlyinvolved in mammary carcinoma and infrequently removed.
