Abstract
Lymph node enlargement (lymphadenopathy) may be found in many conditions, both benign and malignant. Benign lymph node enlargement can occur in response to different infections such as tuberculosis and fungal disease. Malignant lymphadenopathy can occur in primary lymphatic diseases such as Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as other malignancies which metastasize to regional lymph nodes, such as breast cancer.
