? mononucleosis: When a node in any node bearing area is enlarged, a biopsy must reveal cause of node alteration. If FNA performed, findings can be neg. since architecture of node must be examined, Excisional bx needed and if totally normal a second area must be examined to look for I.M. or lymphoma. If inflammation , source must be defined.
