Obese patients have worse breast cancer outcomes than normal weight women including a 50% to 80% increased rate of axillary nodal metastasis. Recent studies have shown a potential link between increased lymph node adipose tissue and breast cancer nodal metastasis. Further investigation into potential mechanisms underlying this link may reveal potential prognostic utility of fat-enlarged lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. In this study, a deep learning framework was developed to identify morphological differences of non-metastatic axillary nodes between node-positive and node-negative obese breast cancer patients. Pathology review of the model-selected patches found an increase in the average size of adipocytes (p-value=0.004), an increased amount of white space between lymphocytes (p-value
