Q: 1.5 cm (minimum) enlarged painless post cervical node. now new post auricular node, also painless (<1cm). both growing in the last 2 months. lymphoma?

Enlarged lymph node: Lymph nodes can enlarge for many reasons, most commonly related to infectious or inflammatory reasons. Usually these are not fixed, and will wane over time. A node that remains enlarged , becomes fixed, and is not tender is concerning for cancer, particularly if it lasts longer than a few months. Often a simple needle aspiration biopsy can then rule out cancer without need for surgical biopsy.

Q: noticed 1 right small cervical node. didn't feel it at all earlier in the day. been having anxiety and tonsil issues. should i be concerned?

Not necessarily: Sound like you may have an infection viral or bacterial starting up. Not unusual to have inflamed node. Best to see you doctor for exam to be sure you do or do not need tx

Q: have a small <1cm cervical lymph node with what feels like a pinhead sized bump attached. cause for concern? thank you.

Lymphadenopathy : With nodes less than 1 cm, we are typically not concerned. If the node is enlarging or becoming painful, I would suggest you see your physician.

Q: what prominent left level 2 cervical lymph node, 1.3x0.7cm through ultrasound mean?

: It is impossible to evaluate this ultrasound without seeing the actual test results and hearing about your clinical situation. I would contact the Doctor Who ordered the ultrasound to discuss this lymph node found on this exam to see if it is anything of concern. Good luck.

Q: what it's mean if ultrasound of neck exam found: "right level ii cervical node 1.4 cm, maximum dimension. this appears to be largest lymph node"?

Question 1

please can you explain what this means: pet scan showed right lower lobe lesion with increased uptake suvmax20. measuring 5x5cm &the right cervical ad?

Accepted Answer

PET Scan...: This PET scan is saying there is a lesion measuring 5x5 centimeters that is active physiologically-that is, it is using the isotope given during the scan. The lesion is located in the right lung, near the bottom. There are also some enlarged lymph nodes. This needs to be followed up closely because, although it may be benign, malignancy needs to be ruled out. A biopsy is likely the next step.

Accepted Answer

Internal jugular: Refers to a specific area within the neck.
Needs to be clinically correlated by your MD.
