What Does A Nodule On The Left Side Of The Neck Indicate?
I have a student that has a 4 cm nodule on the left side of his neck. Has had lab work done and an ultra sound of his neck as well. Everything has come back negative for Mumps, Strep and Flu. He did have a sinus infection earlier last week but has cleared up. He is waiting on a referral to Arkansas Children's Hospital. Any suggestions??
