Question 1

i saw an ent and he said i have lpr. recently a supraclavicular right lymph node is swollen & i have upper stomach  pain. is this the reflux or cancer?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: LPR is common, and gastritis is common too, cancer is uncommon and not all enlarged lymph nodes are cancerous. kindly see your primary doctor for more evaluation, best wishes

Question 2

swollen supraclavicular lymph node, one side. why?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Enlarged lymph nodes can be reactive, responding to some infection for example, or reflect the presence of cancer.  Isolated enlargement of a supraclavicular node can be from infection or other benign causes, but it is unusual.  This should be checked out by a physician and possibly be biopsied.

Question 3

what cancers usually lead to a swollen left supraclavicular lymph node?

Accepted Answer

Not the most: Common location, but primary lymphoma, breast, lung, esophagus, oropharyngeal head and neck sites, and then there is the stomach, when the node is called virchow's node.

Question 4

what to do if i have a supraclavicular lymph node(left clavicle), why could it be swollen?

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.

Question 5

hi there. i have a painful left side supraclavicular left lymph node. last week and early this week i had swollen gums. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Swollen gums often sign of diseased infected gums.  Lymph nodes act as trap for spreading bacteria.  Start with your Dentist or a gum specialist Periodontist.  Referral to your General Physician may also be in order, but see the Dentist first.

Question 6

reffered to ent for long term swollen node on neck, bloods normal and now i have a swollen supraclavicular lymph node on the right side, worry?

Accepted Answer

I am concerned: Supraclavicular lymph node enlargement is always concerning for possible underlying malignancy.  Younger patients (under 40 years old) are more likely than not to prove not to have a malignant cause for the enlarged lymph nodes.

The prognosis is not as good over the age of 40. In this age group the biopsy is more likely to show a malignancy(cancer). SEEhttp://bit.ly/1EA25af

Question 7

dr said mono. left supraclavicular lymph node swollen several weeks. had ct scan, all ok. worried as read those lymph node are bad when swollen.

Accepted Answer

Biopsy Virchow's Nod: The L supraclavicular node is particularly worrisome. Due to the drainage of the lymphatic system, Virchow's node (as it is known) is commonly the first node that enlarges in cancers of the chest, abdomen, legs, &amp; left arm. Scans can be negative &amp; miss cancer, especially since they are anatomical scans, not functional ones (small cancers can be missed). Biopsy or PET recommended. TTYD or HT Prime.

Question 8

why does left supraclavicular lymph node swell?

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.

Question 9

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 10

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Evaluating an enlarged supra-clavicular lymph node is not a trivial issue. Pulled muscle is an unlikely cause, if you have an enlarged node. It would prudent to consult your doctor.
