A member asked:
What does this mean in pathology report? in summary, the findings from this needle biopsy are consistent with a reactive lymph node , with features suggestive of dermatopathic lymphadenopathy. there is no evidence of metastatic carcinoma?

Changes found in the lymph node are not related to cancer, but to inflammation in the vicinity, further work up is needed to reveal possible source for the reactive lymph node.

All laboratory/imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results indicate that the changes in the lymph node are from a skin rash. There is no cancer. Wish you good health!
