My 49 year old son was just diagnosed with lymphadenopathy. He has a swollen gland in his neck and up by his temple on his face. He was prescribed Clindamycin 150 mg 4 times a day. Is this treatment usually successful? If this doesn't clear up the swelling, what is our next step?

Hi! Last April I noticed a swollen lymph node on my groin area that appeared along with consistent low grade fever. I had a CBT but nothing came up. The node was about 1.5-2cm and stayed the same until September when I found another small swollen occipital lymph node. I also had rib cage pain in both sides with some red spots on my low abdomen. I visited the doctor (due to bone pain and extreme fatigue) who told me that it was shingles and diagnosed generalized lymphadenopathy and I was referred for FNAB in my inguinal lymph node. They told me that I might have lymphoma. The biopsy showed a reactive lymph node and it was recommended a follow up in January to check if the size of the lymph node changes. Additionally,I had a lump on my right rib cage but they said it is a lipoma.Meanwhile, last week my left parotid lymph node became visible and enlarged feels firm and extends from my left jaw to the ear.I do have low grade fever that comes and goes and I am always exhausted.

Hi! I am 32 year old female with Sickle Cell Anemia. I have lower foot and ankle ulcers that have been infected over a period of time. Lately I have noticed that my groin lymph nodes on both sides are constantly swollen and painful to the touch. They tend swell up very large....then gets smaller but there is ALWAYS a section that is hot swollen and painful to the touch. I am now Extremely concerned...although I was told this is a complication duel to my SCD. Is this true? Should I seek more medical opinions?

What does this mean

There is a fine reticular pattern seen throughout lung fields but with an upper zone predominance and minor subpleural pattern. The thickening is in a peri bronchial vascular and centrilobular distribution.

Minor thickening of the oblique fissures is seen superiority.

There is mild prominence of the hila.

I have sarcodosis and this is my latest ct scan.
Thanks

my 6 months baby tends to bend her neck more to the right side, her pediatrician noticed that at her 6 months vaccination appointment so he requested neck ultrasound, where they found upper cervical lymphadenopathy more on the left side, so the radiologist asked me if she had recent sore throat , I told her she had like fever and runny nose 3 days after the vaccine and still was having it at time of US. should I be worried about lymphoma or lukemia or it could be just because of vaccination or fever?

this is in continuation to my earlier question about my son lymphadenopathy

What are the criteria used to determine abnormality and possible malignancy in an ultrasound of an axiliary lymph node? When a scan leads to a biopsy, what factors typically were observed in the scan to suggest further testing?

Should a doctor consider how long the lymphadenopathy has occured when considering if a scan or biopsy should be done? For example, if a person has lived with frequent episodes swollen nodes for the last 17 years and has no health issues other than the node soreness, would this fact eliminate the suspicion that the current episode of inflammation is due to malignancy? Do doctors regard client reported information such as length of occurance as irrelevant hearsay?

How can a normal node have an adjacent blood vessel or be "vascular" if these traits are indicitive of malignancy? What causes vascularity in a non cancerous node?

Do do doctors err on the side of unnecessary biopsy to protect themselves against litigation?

Can one tell from an ultrasound what type of cancer might be present in a lymph node? For example does metastasized cancer appear different from lymphoma, etc?

Would breast implant related ALCL typically be present in nearby lymph nodes?
Should a late onset seroma cause chronic (lasting 17 years)lymphadenopathy to be suspect for malignancy?
If a person had a late onset seroma that resolved spontaneously after 4 weeks should a dr be less suspicious of ALCL in a subsequent seroma?

Can sports activity related irritation in an implant capsule cause lymph node inflamation?
