I have never heard of that, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.  Lymph nodes are all over your body, so they can pop up just about anywhere.  Usually the cause has to do with your body fighting an infection.  If it doesn't go away on its own within a few weeks, you might have it looked at by your doctor.
