A member asked:
Jugular lymph node enlargement up to 2.6cm, post tt/thyroid cancer 2012, rai scan clear, thyroid bed clear, not sick, what's the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enlarged neck node: A large neck node with a prior history of thyroid cancer is worrisome. See an ENT doctor and start with a fine needle aspiration of the enlarged node is my recommendation.
