If it has: been stable for 3 years, and looks morphologically normal on ultrasound regardless of the size, it is probably nothing to worry about.

Biopsy.: It is not possible to determine malignant metastasis solely via ultrasound of lymph nodes, but some are more suspicious than others. Best to do a fine needle aspiration or excisional biopsy depending on where it is. http://www.orlfrance.org/college/biblio/Bibliographies_Reco_chirurgie_ganglionnaire/Lymph%20Node%20sonography.pdf
