Question 1

1.4cm swollen jugulodigastric lymph node left side (been like this a year, scan clear) swollen suboccipital lymph node same side, health fine. why!?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Since it has been there a yea  it  sounds  like  low risk. You could  consider a biopsy if you wish. Discuss with your physician

Question 2

lymph node in neck doc said was jugulodigastric node that i thought was swollen, oval, soft, kinda flaps, about 1cm big.. ent says im fine, but am i?

Accepted Answer

Close follow : Lymph nodes enlarge in reaction to infection or inflammation most commonly. Enlarged lymph nodes are generally > 1.5 cm, so yours is on the small side. You need a detailed history from doctor and exam.  A needle aspiration or surgical excisional biopsy can be considered  to get more information about it.  Nothing  to worry about but you should be the-examined in 2-3  months

Question 3

is a 14mm lymph node in the right jugulodigastric region anything to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Depends a lot: on factors such as enlargement, consistency, associated diseases, and general medical condition.  If it is an isolated finding and associated with viral infection such as zoster, it should resolve with time.  If it is enlarging and feels hard, your doctor will probably recommend biopsy.  In general, enlarged lymph nodes are most likely caused by infection or inflammation, but lymphoma is possible.

Question 4

i have jugulodigastric lymph node 3.5cm x 0.6cm  multiple doctors say it's ok, normal. refuse to biopsy. why?

Accepted Answer

Mine's almost as big: These are common. Ask any physician who does a good, complete physical exam. If the mass is clearly a lymph node and not a submandibular gland tumor, and is not hard or stuck to a nearby structure, it would be a terrible idea to biopsy it. The chances of it being tumor are very low, it's not going to be resection-for-cure, and that area is full of important stuff. Been offered a fine needle?

Question 5

pea sized occipital lymph node & 1.4cm jugulodigastric lymph node, both left hand side of neck. been like this months. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Is it stable in size: As long as this is stable in size over a period of months, and hasn't increased any further. Nothing else is recommended. If you are willing to have a biopsy performed, you'll want to see an ENT physician, however it may not be paid for by your insurance. Keep an eye it, and if it increases in size tell your doctor who ordered the ultrasound of your neck. Watchful waiting is best.

Question 6

i had ultrasound on jugulodigastric lymph node that measured 1.8 x 0.8 x 3.6 cm but then i had a ct scan that said "no lymphadenopathy"  why is this?

Accepted Answer

Yes you do: Less than 1.5 cm is by convention not enlarged, assuming CT was done on neck scanning your jugulogastric node area. The question next is how to verify and what to do, best to check with oncologist in your area, and moffitt cancer center is near you, so pls take advantage of these resource to get to the bottom of your concern.

Question 7

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 8

why might it be that only one lymph node be swollen?

Accepted Answer

Infection or tumor: The usual cause is some infection in the area drained by that node. Less commonly tumors may present as a swollen node.

Question 9

swollen lymph node by bug bite.

Accepted Answer

Insufficient info: It would be useful to be able to examine the "bug bite" site as well as the "lymph node". It would be prudent to see your doctor to have it evaluated.

Question 10

what causes a swollen lymph node?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Many things like- infection ( most common ); inflammation -( trauma, irritation, other systemic inflammation); autoimmune problems, malignancy etc- can cause lymph node enlargement.
