A member asked:
Had a 1" scalp mass surgically removed. it was located very near the top of my head. can it really be hypertrophic lymph node as the pathology says?

Yes but...: You have a right to have a second pathologist's opinion. One fooler may be a cyst that has ruptured and become very inflamed.

unusual: That would be an unlikely spot for a lymph node but mother nature doesn't read the books and stranger things have happened. I would trust the report.
