A member asked:
Lymph nodes neck and armpits feel swollen for 2+ years but no lumps. got cbc in nov all clear. ct scan showed swollen lymph nodes in neck. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphadenopathy: Lymph nodes can enlarge for many reasons. Their purpose is to help fight infection and other inflammatory conditions and these may cause enlargement of the nodes. They can also suggest primary tumors of the lymphatic system. The only way to clearly differentiate is to biopsy, but most clinicians will not do this without a high degree of suspicion as to a malignant condition.
