Abstract:
Lymphadenopathy is common in children and often reflects an underlying infectious etiology. However, the differential is broad, and rarely it can represent something more serious such as a malignancy. Clinicians should be aware of the various pathologies including infectious and non-infectious causes that lead to lymph node enlargement. In this session, we will review common and rare causes of lymphadenopathy and the warning signs that should alert you to expand your diagnostic evaluation.
