Can be: Sounds like you did the right thing by being evaluated. Many causes of lymphadenopathy exist, but generalized selling suggests a systemic problem. I am sure your physician explored viral illnesses like mono and CMV or lymphomas, tb, autoimmune processes, etc. Persistent generalized lymphadenopathy is a recognized condition in which the nodes have no apparent cause. Best to keep close follow-up tho.

Agree with Dr. B.: You may feel the nodes every week or two. If any of the nodes more than doubles in size, ulcerates or bleeds, becomes painful or if you get fever or lose weight, see your doctor.
