Probably ok for now: If you have been screened by six clinicians and they all feel it to be benign, probably the best course of action is to monitor it overtime. If it gets larger, you find additional palpable nodes or the nodes become fixed and hard, a follow-up assessment would be beneficial. If you would like to have them removed out of anxiety, maybe you should seek an excisional biopsy from a general surgeon.
