Question 2

what can cause swollen lymph nodes in chest and a lung nodule?

Accepted Answer

Lung tumor: Chest or mediastinal lymph nodes associated with a lesion in the lung most often represent metastasis from  a lung primary.  This can further be defined by mediastinoscopy and lymph node biopsy or if in the proper position, thoracoscopy removing the lung nodule.  A PET/CAT before any procedure will tell whether the nodes are malignant as whether the lung lesion is malignant.

Question 3

swollen lymph nodes in chest and lung nodule, cancer? reason to be scared?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation needed: While lung cancer can present like that, there are a fewl other causes for chest lymphadenopathy and a pulmonary nodule, including infectious and inflammatory diseases. Without a doubt, further evaluation is mandatory, likely with a pet scan and likely a diagnostic biopsy. Of course the medical history is important (smoking, history of other cancers etc).

Question 4

what does a real sudden sharp pain in your lung be? also swollen lymph node?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Not sure what you mean by pain in your lung.
Do you mean chest pain? Does it hurt when you take a deep breath or cough? And where is the swollen lymph node? Are you a smoker? What kind of activity, occupation, etc?
You should see a doctor (internist or family practitioner) for a good check-up.

Question 5

multiple swollen lymph nodes, non tender, armpits, neck, clavicle, tiny lung nodules, progressive in number last 6 months, none big enough for biopsy (just under cm), if was low grade lymphoma how quickly would they grow? well otherwise?

Accepted Answer

: There are multiple causes of lymph node enlargement. For info: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15219-swollen-lymph-nodes
You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 6

Question 8

i have a lump in my groin area what could this mean. its small but its still noticeable. im thinking its a swollen lymph node. if so its the only one ive check the others. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

: One small lump in the groin probably means nothing, especially if it remains small and is not sore to the touch. Do not keep pressing on it -- that alone could make it sore or larger. If you remain concerned, see a doctor.

Question 9

what does it mean to have a swollen lymph node?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation.: Lymph nodes are filters for fluid and debris coming from nearby body parts that is collected via lymphatic ducts.  They are filled with immune system cells, lymphocytes and react to various processes from minor infections, irritations like rashes, up to serious malignancies.  When the node enlarges, the immune system is dealing with one of these processes.  Most of the time, it's something minor.

Question 10

what does a swollen lymph node on your collar bone mean?

Accepted Answer

Most likely...: It means that your body is fighting off an infection. If it doesn't resolve, continues to grow, or becomes painful, see your doctor.
