What Is The Treatment For An Enlarged Lymph Node In The Neck?
I had my thyroid removed a year ago ( with 12 nearby lymph nodes removed with it, all clean) due to papillary thyroid cancer ( 1 nodule 1cm) I also had RIA after as well. I just had an ultrasound on my neck done with the results being 1 enlarged lymph node with blood flow. Is this lymph node a concern or just something to watch? I also have a sore neck resently but I don t know if that is of any importance.

Hello
The enlarged lymph node can be due to the sore throat or may be due to recurrence of the papillary cancer , you will need a fine needle aspiration and study of the cells from the lymph node to confirm what the enlargement is exactly due to.Please meet your doctor to discuss further management.Please dont worry , you will be fine!
