What it's mean if you have few border line lymph node in cervical ultrasound and what test need to be done to make sure it's not lymphoma?

Dr. Gerardo Guerra Bonilla answered

Lymph nodes: Lymphadenopathy without an obvious cause after the history and physical examination presents a diagnostic dilemma. The cause of lymphadenopathy is often obvious after a complete history and physical exam done by a physician. A biopsy is rarely needed. The upper limit in size of a normal cervical lymph node is 10-15 mm.
