Concerning: He should be seen by your family p[physician or pediatrician. A diagnosis must be made to make sure this lymphadenopathy (enlarged glands) is not cancerous. There are some cancers that are indolent and also blood tests must be done to rule out this possibility.

A small stable node: With a fatty hilum is not likely to be something to worry about. If more appear, it grows, or he develops other symptoms, it can be excised. Your concern about lymphoma can not be dismissed, but it is not likely.
