Lymph Nodes. They are an ovoid or kidney-shaped organ of the lymphatic system. Each group drains a specific area of your body. You may be more likely to notice swelling in certain areas, such as in the lymph nodes in your neck, under your chin, in your armpits, and in your groin. Lymph carries white blood cells and is responsible for protecting the body against viruses and bacteria. They are located throughout the body but the largest groupings are found in the neck, armpits and groin areas.
MT's avoid this area because is a part of the immune systems/organ and requires special training. You can find the certification (here) to do this type of massage.
