What Causes Lumps In Neck,chest And Back?

My 22-yr. old son has had lumps in his neck, chest and now back that appear then disappear within several months. Recently he had 2 lymph nodes removed from his armpit. The frozen sample was inconclusive. We re currently awaiting a pathology report. We ve heard everything from dysplasia to lymphoma. What are the chances we re dealing with Hodgkin s?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has lump and enlarged lymphnode. It can be due to some malignancy or soft tissue tumor. In malignant lesion it can be hodgkin's lymphoma or some carcinoma. Or soft tissue tumor like multiple lipoma or neurofibroma with reactive lymphnode enlargement. So you should wait for biopsy report. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment according to diagnosis. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
