case_images: Postoperative pathological tissue examination indicated chronic granulomatous inflammation with a small abscess formation (Fig. 1A-C), suggesting a high risk of tuberculosis. At admission, the largest lymph node was egg-sized (Fig. 1D and E), accompanied by tenderness, no rupture, no redness or swelling, and no fever. The right side was obviously enlarged, with the maximum mass of about 4.7 x 3.7 cm with a hard texture, tenderness, no wave sensation, no redness or swelling, and moderate mobility (Fig. 1D).
