Can lymph node thats not feelable due to infection but due to someone being slim be benign?because i thought only lymph nodes reacting to something can be benign? as the meaning of benign refers to a condition, tumor or growth that is not cancerous??

Benign by definition means normal, as opposed to malignant (cancer) or infected.
