Hi Thanks for posting on HCM Treatment options for granulomatous lymphdenitis depend on the causative agent and may include -expectant management if lymph nodes are smaller than 3cm -antimicrobial therapy used when nodes are greater than 2-3 cm, are unilateral, have overlying erythema, and are tender. -chemotherapy and radiation (for malignancy).Not in your case Surgery may not be a primary treatment option but foci of granular necrosis will need removal of the death tissues.Surgery and further biopsy may be the best option in this case.
