Question 1

high monocytes low hemoglobin swollen lymph nodes igg level 654.27 and granulomas cells in lymph, calcified granuloma left lung and fatigue in 13 year?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, can't help: We would love to help. However, since you apparently have had a lymph node biopsy, the diagnosis must not have been obvious to your doctor. Since you're under a doctor's care, she is the one to ask -- or if things remain uncertain, perhaps referral to (another?) specialist. Impossible to speculate further on a forum like this. Sorry and good luck.

Question 2

what could cause high monocyte  count 20% and wbc 3.68 very worried. had all as child , healthy 39 y/o small swollen lymph node on right of neck.?

Accepted Answer

If the blood tests..: Are 30 years old, not likely that there is any relationship to the lymph node.

Question 3

what can cause a swollen lymph node and high wbc / low hgb?

Accepted Answer

Depends: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, chronic myeloid leukemia would explain these features. It would be prudent to discuss the matter with your doctor.

Question 4

i have swollen lymph node on neck by adam's apple for months, i guess another on upper arm and another i guess high back neck. all left side. not sick?

Accepted Answer

They're your friends: All teens and young adults have a few palpable nodes. Different folks have them in different places. If they're not preposterously large, not fixed to nearby structures, and not accompanied by fever / weight loss / night sweats, leave them alone.

Question 5

have swollen lymph node behind ear when touched it feels like theres a hard ball in there not on any meds feeling well just got high prolactin levels?

Accepted Answer

Location issue: If you are talking about right behind ear, there usually aren't major lymph node chains hanging out unless it is more in the neck region.  Something that may feel like lymph node in the area may be blocked duct/follicle.  Not sure if this has anything to do with high prolactin levels but this would not be typical.  You can try warm compress as if this is a blocked follicle, may help.

Question 6

non viral causes of high monocytes 16%? 4 y/o w/symptoms: recurring fever, cyanosis, joint pain, no appetite, swollen lymph nodes. fh of jra & lupus.

Accepted Answer

Not the key: As a pathologist and lab specialist, I would discourage you from paying any attention at all to percentages, or to monocytes unless the absolute count is well over 1000. Sounds like a JRA variant if it is clear there is no heart defect or endocarditis

Question 7

swollen lymph nodes throughout head and neck, big scabs in head, elevated rdw-cv and elevated abs monocytes. what could this mean?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: This is a constellation of minor anomalies such as any generally healthy person may have. Lab reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. You need a general physician or skin Dr. to evaluate your scalp (?), &amp; serum iron and TIBC to search for mild iron deficiency (commonly raises RCW before anemia sets in). Malignant nodes aren't subtle.

Question 8

i am having laser tattoo removal on the back of my neck. i had my first session two weeks ago , its healing very well however i noticed a round hard painful lump at the base of my skull back of neck. swollen lymph node??

Accepted Answer

: You are likely correct. Any disturbance of the skin surface as would be in tattoo removal may trigger enlargement of local nodes that can persist for a few weeks.

Question 9

what is a swollen lymph node like?

Accepted Answer

Question is vague!: Swollen lymph node may reactive process or could be cancer (lymphoma or metastatic spread). Reactive process may be secondary to various organisms such as viral, bacterial, fungal (including granulomatous processes). Many other condtions are idiopathic (no known causative factor).

Question 10

swollen lymph node, should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria, viruses, cancers, etc.  When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.
