Baby Developed Enlarged Lymph Nodes In Groin, Neck, Arm Pit. Is It Sign Of Lymphoma?
Dear sir My 1.5 years old daughter had developed enlarged lymph nodes in groin neck and arm pit area where both arm pit nodes are sizing 1.5 cm from last 2 months. Her mt test for tb was positive at 10 mm. Doctor prescribed akt and its 1.5 month some nodes size reduced but both arm pit nodes size is not reducing they are still 1.5cm. I recently went for biopsy but doctor told size is not big enough for biopsy. Are nodes with not reduction in size sign of limphoma??
Hi! welcome to HCM! Since the Mtx test was positive and size of other lymph nodes have reduced after antitubercular treatment so chances of tuberculosis are strong.complete the whole treatment the axillary lymph node will also reduce in size.chances of lymphoma are very rare in your daughter so dont worry complete the treatment. hope this helps!
