A member asked:

3.2 x 1.7 cm anterior cervical lymph node. what is the possibility it is lymphoma? non tender.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Biopsy: I'm of the opinion that an enlarged lymph node that doesn't regress after an observation period of a few weeks should have an excisional biopsy or at the very least should be evaluated by a head and neck surgeon. This is my policy after seeing a few cases of lymphoma present like that over the years.
