Lymphadenopathy means lymph nodes are enlarged or appear abnormal.
People may notice swollen glands in the neck, armpit, or groin, sometimes with tenderness, fever, weight loss, night sweats, or tiredness.
Imaging helps show how many lymph nodes are involved, where they are, whether they look reactive or suspicious, and whether biopsy planning is needed.
Ultrasound, CT, MRI, or PET-CT can help assess the size, pattern, and distribution of lymph node enlargement.
Management may involve observation, infection treatment, biopsy, or cancer workup depending on the context and pattern.
