It's not: Cervical (neck) or any other location lymphadenopathy isn't a disease. It is a sign/symptom. It may be anything on a huge differential diagnosis list. See discussion in this manuscript: http://www.Mayoclinicproceedings.Org/article/s0025-6196(11)64620-x/fulltext.

Big neck lymph nodes: Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck are usually due to a cold or other respiratory infection. They can also be seen with some unusual infections and tumors, though this is much less common.
