I have had some swelling at base of neck, going into shoulder (trapezius). i recently felt a small lymph node in that area - what are potential causes?

Get it checked!: Swollen lymph nodes can be secondary to a viral or bacterial infection or other sources of inflammation, 0. Of greatest concern (admittedly unlikely) is cancer or lymphoma. While it is not likely, it is scary and should be checked.

Lymph nodes: Enlarge when combating inflammation. This includes infection, malignancy, non-infectious inflammatory conditions. Get this seen and if needed, biopsied.
