Question 1

can strep cause enlarged lymph nodes near the collar bone ?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Bacterial infections, including strep can cause enlarged lymph nodes that are near the site of infection.  If that is the cause, if the infection is successfully treated the nodes should shrink back down.  Persistently enlarged nodes, or nodes that continue to enlarge need evaluation.

Question 2

i have enlarged lymph nodes in the hollow space above my left collar bone. could this be lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Any other symptoms?: Many things can cause swelling of lymph nodes.  Other symptoms you are having may help differentiate between them.  Do you have symptoms like fevers, weight loss, night sweats?  Infections, inflammatory conditions or some cancers like lymphoma can do this but most lymph node swellings are not cancer.
This should be evaluated by a physician.

Question 3

Evaluation: You should be evaluated for cause of large lymph nodes and if is benign you are ok for donation.

Question 4

can hsv cause enlarged lymph nodes in neck and collor bone ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: My answer is yes, it can - but off course it will depend on where is the location of the hsv infection. There are many other things that can cause lymph nodes enlargement . See you doctor for further evaluation.

Question 5

i have constant deep aching pain in my bones and joints. symptoms have increased over the last 3 months. i do get enlarged lymph nodes sometimes.

Accepted Answer

Be seen: I would certainly be seen.  An exam and appropriate studies can often determine the cause, which can include viral illnesses such as mono among other possibilities.  Be seen.

Question 6

i have sores in my nose could this cause enlarged lymph nodes in my neck and collar bone ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: Sores in your nose can make your neck lymph nodes enlarged.  But the lymph nodes above your collarbone are less likely to be enlarged from sores in your nose. These lymph nodes can be enlarged from something going on in your lungs, chest wall, thyroid, or mouth.  Cancer of the lymph nodes (lymphoma) makes them rubbery and swollen but not painful. If these don't get better soon, see a doctor!

Question 7

i have had multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the right groin, that seem to be getting larger, hard to touch, low back and hip pain also, i am 57?

Accepted Answer

See doctor ASAP: These symptoms point to a systemic problem which may be serious.  Call your doctor ASAP.

Question 8

i'm 20 years, have enlarged lymph nodes in my groin (one is >1 cm), & it has been there for 4 months. i have pain in hip area, but all blood test are normal. how likely is it to be lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Worth getting the lymph node biopsied or studied further though if it has been there that long.

Question 9

ct and/pelvis contrast for lymphadenopathy. they wrote multiple non enlarged retro peritoneal lymph nodes visualized. is it normal to see them on ct?

Accepted Answer

Yes,: lymph nodes are normal structures.  If they are normal in shape and size, there is generally nothing to worry about.

Question 10

ct and/pelvis contrast for lymphadenopathy. multiple non enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes visualized. do you always see these nodes on ct? normal?

Accepted Answer

These lymph nodes: may not mean anything, unless there is a readily diagnosed condition that will explain their existence, such as acute infection or tumor.  Lymph nodes can pop in and out, without rhyme or reason.  The existence of CHRONICALLY enlarging lymph nodes would be a red flag.  Periodic followup CTs at intervals of 3 or 6 months would be recommended here.
