hi,
the lymphnode enlargement and the migraine are not related to each other.the biopsy report shows that reactive lymphnodes, so no further workup is required
there may be certain infection or inflammation ,in response to which the lymphnodes were enlarged. some time,even the offending cause(infection or inflammation) has gone, enlarged lymph node does not return to their previous size.
