Abstract:

Cervical lymphadenopathy is the swelling of the lymph nodes in the cervical region. It can be localized or generalised, depending on the involvement of other lymph nodes. The cause can be diagnosed by history taking, clinical examination, and various laboratory tests. Causes include infection, malignancy, autoimmune disease and rare diseases. Biopsy can be done to rule out malignancy. If it is due to malignancy, check for any metastatic lesions which can be done by CT scan.
