The left Supraclavicular lymph node, also known as Virchow's node, swells for many reasons. It can be from a bacterial or viral infection of the arms, lungs, neck, abdomen and breasts or can be an early warning sign of cancer. Either way, it is always best to consult a doctor immediately for treatment.

I just came from the vet scheduled because of my dogs swollen lymph nodes. The vet believes it to be either an infection or lymphoma (cancer). Make an appointment with your vet. They will most likely prescribe antibotics to eliminate any infections. If after antibiotics if the lymph nodes are still swollen they will perform a biopsy. Best wishes.
