A member asked:

Multiple swollen neck lymph nodes. excisional biopsy came back normal. called them reactive nodes. why is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not known: The pathologist will call enlarged nodes for which a cause can not be ascertained, "reactive". The good news is that there is no cancer. You may need to watch and wait. Do see your doctor again if the nodes get larger or nodes in other areas of the body get larger.
