What does this mean please. I have a growth on my jaw and have got the results of my ct.. it says there are a few small subcentimetre lymph nodes noted in the submandibular regions which are likely reactive in nature. Some of the submanidbular lymph nodes lie close to and medial to the mandible.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, see lymph nodes enlarges when there is infection in oral cavity .
So this enlarged lymph nodes can be due to periodontal infection or periapical infection also in oral cavity .
For this you should consult dentist and go for examination of Oral cavity and Examination of lymph nodes .
If possible go for FNAC of lymph nodes.
Hope this will help you.
