The left supraclavicular nodes are the classical Virchow's node because they receive lymphatic drainage of most of the body (from the thoracic duct) and enters the venous circulation via the left subclavian vein. The metastasis may block the thoracic duct leading to regurgitation into the surrounding Virchow's nodes.
C3 – In the supraclavicular fossa, at the midclavicular line. C4 – Over the acromioclavicular joint. C5 – On the lateral (radial) side of the antecubital fossa, just proximally to the elbow. C6 – On the dorsal surface of the proximal phalanx of the thumb. C7 – On the dorsal surface of the proximal phalanx of the middle finger.

The supraclavicular nerve is a cutaneous (sensory) nerve of the cervical plexus that arises from the third and fourth cervical (spinal) nerves. It emerges from beneath the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle , then split into multiple branches.
The accessory nerve (CN XI) is particularly vulnerable to damage during lymph node biopsy. Damage results in an inability to shrug the shoulders or raise the arm above the head, particularly due to compromised trapezius muscle innervation.
