A member asked:
Is cortical thickening of a lymph node the same as the enlargement of a lymph node?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, more or less. Both conditions imply that this node is suspicious for containing a tumor. Thus it usually requires a biopsy or closer follow up for monitoring for any further growth or change which will make it essential to get a biopsy done to rule our involvement by a tumor.
