What Could The Growth In Lymph Node Indicate?
My wife just visited Ukraine to visit her mum. while there is was advised to have a scan by her mum.. so she went to a specialist, and afterv scan it showed a growth of 9mm in the Lymph node, in the throat. He said it must'nt get more than 1 cm, and she is to have a scan every 3 months to make sure its not getting bigger. what treatment should she take? Could it be a cyst? She is awaiting her blood test taken in ukraine. will she be able to have a scan in england every 3 months? We live in Cambridge, which specialist should we contact?

Welcome to Health care magic.
1. Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in the patients with infections / inflammations, which can be local or systemic.
2.Another possible cause in presence of benign and malignant diseases. Finally lymph nodal pathology itself ( lymphadenopathy).
3.Size wise its less just borderline 10mm anterior-posterir measurement.
4.In this case treatment is, to treat any underlying medical conditions, infections.
5.You can get it done in UK through GP every 3 months as indicated, the specialist you need to see is oncologist.
6.Sine ultrasound has declared that lymph nodes - it can not be cyst.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
