What Causes A Development Of Enlarged Lymph Node On Inner Bicep Around 3cm?

My son has an enlarged lymph node in the inner bicep area. An untrasound was performed. Would an MRI be more conclusive or is biopsy the only way to see if this could be malignant. He has no injury or signs of illness just 1 enlarged node measuring around 3cm. It is also tender to the touch and he is 6 years old

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have enlarged lymph node on inner bicep around 3cm.

If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may check tenderness and consistency along with blood test and take sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or anti viral depending upon the diagnosis along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also recommend surgical excision under local anesthesia .
