A member asked:
My son had a biopsy on a lymph node in his neck. it came back benign but has a collection of white blood cells. what does this mean?

Normal: All healthy lymph nodes have clusters of different types of white cells. They're your friends. If the pathologist did not give an additional diagnosis (for example, tuberculosis or Kikuchi-Fujimoto), consider yourself healthy.
