Axillary lymphadenopathy on breast imaging following the administration of inactivated polio vaccine

      Highlights

      • Unilateral axillary adenopathy can be seen in the setting of recent inactivated polio vaccination.
      • Bilateral vaccination should be considered on the differential for bilateral axillary adenopathy.
      • Radiologists should be aware of the possibility of axillary adenopathy following vaccination, including IPV.
