                                    Brief Answer:
Likely reactive lymphadenitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
This biopsy is highly suggestive of reactive lymphadenitis. This is not worrisome, occurs in response to some infection usually.
With time, this should subside. Sometimes antibiotics are required. If persists same, or new nodes/new symptoms develop, then may require excision of the node surgically and then biopsy.
Overall, there is nothing to worry at this point.
Hope this helps.
Regards
