Overview
Diagnostic criteria for malignant lymphadenopathy may include: the size of node more than 2 cm, a node that is draining, hard, or fixed to underlying tissue, atypical location (e.g. supraclavicular node), associated risk factors (e.g. HIV or TB), fever, and/or weight loss, and splenomegaly. On the other hand, diagnostic criteria for benign lymphadenopathy may include: node smaller than 1 cm, a node that is mobile, soft-or tender, and is not fixed to underlying tissue, typical location (e.g. supraclavicular node), no associated risk factors, and palpable and painful enlargement.
Diagnostic Criteria
Diagnostic criteria could help to differentiate lymphadenopathy causes.[1][2]
Malignant Lymphadenopathy
- Node > 2 cm
- Node that is draining, hard, or fixed to underlying tissue
- Atypical location (e.g. supraclavicular node)
- Risk factors (e.g. HIV or TB)
- Fever and/or weight loss
- Splenomegaly
Benign Lymphadenopathy
- Node < 1 cm
- Node that is mobile, soft-or tender, and is not fixed to underlying tissue
- Common location (e.g. supraclavicular node)
- No associated risk factors
- Palpable and painful enlargement
