A member asked:
Left lateral neck hypoechoic lymph node 18x24mm. hyperaemic with effacement of fatty hilum. what exactly does this mean? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Needs evaluation.: A completely normal lymph node will be less than 15mm and have a fatty center. When it enlarges and loses the fatty portion with increased blood flow (hyperemic), it should be sampled with a needle to make sure there is no infection or malignancy within it.
