Summary
Lymphadenopathy (LAD) refers to the enlargement and/or abnormal consistency of lymph nodes and may be localized or diffuse. It reflects the results of immune responses to different insulants such as infection, autoimmunity, or malignancy [1]. Children with LAD are much more likely to have benign etiologies than adults, and most commonly present with a cervical mass [2]. While most benign LADs in children have no identifiable cause and are defined as nonspecific reactive LAD, some cases are found to be of infectious origin, including bacteria, yeast, parasite, or virus, often referred to as lymphadenitis [3].
