A member asked:
44 year old with right axillary lymphadenopathy, had ultrasound and physician said lymph nodes are larger but are normal, not concerning, and no biopsy indicated. i have no other symptoms, nodes decreasing in size. what is the likelihood of lymphoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Virtually zero. You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!

I am a 49 female and felt a swollen supraclavicular lymphnode. Got ultrasound. It's .6mm. They said everything was normal (no Lymphadenopathy, normal morphologically, no masses or fluid). But isn't that too big? My doctor said no need to biopsy?
Have a firm axillary lymph About 1cm-1.1cm node doctor says its fine but Im still worried and have had a chest x ray and blood test that is clear.and I have some in my neck that have been ultrasounded and look fine and are pea sized. Lymphoma?
Widespread small vol lymphadenopathy (as per doctor) last few months but all looked normal on scans, so no biopsy, now having drenching night sweats twice a week last month or so, could it be lymphoma?
I have 3 supraclavicular lymph nodes 1cm in size for a year. Can just an ultrasound detect lymphoma or should I push for a biopsy?
3.5cm lymph node and 3.1cm node slowly grown to that size over 3 years in neck. 3 doctors have done ultrasounds and all refuse biopsy. They say nodes just stay enlarged sometimes..I read thats true but arent these sizes massive? Feel like grapes?
