The deep cervical chain of lymph nodes are located on each side of the neck beneath the sternocleidomastoid muscle. These chains of lymph nodes drain and filter lymph from the thyroid gland, the larynx, the trachea, and the upper portion of the esophagus. Because they lie deep within the body tissue, they are difficult to assess through palpation.
