A member asked:
What causes the superficial anterior cervical lymph nodes to become swollen and stay swollen for over a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enlarged nodes: There are many conditions which can cause lymph node enlargement. Some of these conditions are benign and some are malignant. Your physician will probably suggest an FNA (fine needle aspirate) where a tiny needle is used to extract cells so a pathologist can examine them. Best of luck, see your doctor.
