HI
Well come to HCM
I appreciate your concern, this is not the lymphoma, this could be simple cervical lymph node very common in this age, not because of any disease but due to the prominence appearance it is visible, no need to worry about this this would come around as the child grow old, it is only matters when child has got some symptoms like, low grade fever, loss of appetite, loss of weight, else forget this, hope this information helps, take car.
