Description

ABSTRACT: 
    Lymphadenopathy refers to swelling of lymph nodes. Submandibular nodes (<1 cm) are often palpable 
in healthy children and young adults; healthy adults may have palpable inguinal nodes of up to 2 cm, 
  which is considered normal. Lymphadenopathy can be localized or diffuse.Lymphadenopathy may be 
either  primary  or  secondary  manifestation  of  numerous  disorders  such  as  infectious  diseases, 
immunologic diseases, malignant diseases (hematologic or metastatic), etc. In clinical practice, more 
than  two-thirds  of  patients  with  lymphadenopathy  have  nonspecific  causes  or  upper  respiratory 
illnesses (viral or bacterial), others are benign while <1% are malignant. Detailed medical history, 
clinical examination, along with the lymph node examination, routine & special investigations are done. 
We report 2 cases of lymphadenopathy which were diagnosed as lymphoma.
