Hi and thanks for the query,

It might necessary to have a more careful look at this enlarged lymph node. Presence of other symptoms like loss of body weight, night sweats and fever could be suggestive of a tumor. A complete blood count to measure white blood cell levels could give n impression of a possibility of lymphoma or not.
Depending on the case, a lymph node biopsy or needle aspiration of the lymph node cam be done and sent for histological analysis to check for a tumor(cancer) if present or not. Presence of other lymph nodes should also actively be checked for.

I suggest you book an appointment with an internist. Best regads,
