Overview
Ultrasound can help in the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy to define the presence and extent if a lymph node abscess, to differentiate malignant lymph nodes from lymph node enlargement due to infections. On ultrasound, characteristic findings of lymphadenopathy, include increased lymph node size.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is used:
- To define the presence and extent of a lymph node abscess.
- To differentiate malignant lymph nodes from lymph node enlargement due to infections.
- On ultrasound, characteristic findings of lymphadenopathy, include:[1]
- Increased lymph node size
