Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Posterior neck: there are many lymph nodes through out the body. Neck is one of areas that has a lot of lymph nodes. Yes, lymph nodes can be swollen up as a reaction process in different settings like infection, inflammation, cancer, etc. Since I am unable to examine you myself, you may want to discuss further with your doctor,
