Common Questions and Answers about Lump after lymph node removal
lump
On ultrasound was this a thyroid nodule or a lymph node? Do you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis (more common in T1DM)? Would review US endocrinologist to address these issues and consider having slides sent for another opinion. Also ask if testing for lymphoma (rare) is necessary). But 3.5cm is fairly large (however you mention 0.9cm as one dimension -- so this is almost like a "string bean" which may be a lymph node that is normal/reactive).
Hi. Do you think it is a lymph node perhaps? They can react and enlarge in that area. Was your thyroid fully or partially removed? If it were partially removed, it can grow again. If it were a full removal, it wouldn't. If the thyroid wasn't all removed by accident which happens, it also can grow again. I would see your doctor about it, to be honest.
Ovarian Cancer Screening isn't really my topic, but I can't find one to fit my topic. Any way, I am fifteen years old and I have had three lumps in my groin in the past three to four months. The first time my obgyn told me that it was a swollen lymph node. The second time he said that it wasn't a swollen lymph node, but a simple bacterial infection. I don't think it's a swollen lymph node because it doesnt hurt.
After seeing a doctor I was referred to an oncologist who suspected lymphoma ,having cat scan and removal of a lump the results were negative . One month later was hospitalized for 10 days watching the lymph nodes grow with all the side effects . Doctors decided to remove another large node with no results . 5 months later , two specialists .and oncologist and a professor can not tell me what's wrong.
took her in the other day and they found a lump about the size of an egg in her groin lymph node (they think it was the lymph node that drained the tumor on her leg). she seems completely normal (eating great...running, playing, ect) up to this point. we do not plan to do chemo, but wondering if it is worth removing the lymph node. what do you typically see in these cases? I do not want to put her through a lot of pain and recovery if it's not worth it.
Hello. My name is Shaila, and I'm 23 years old. I recently had a total thyroidectomy & partial lymph node removal due to papillary carcinoma (thyroid cancer). Well, I've come to notice (6 weeks later) some sort of lump or mass where the old one used to be before my surgery. Do you have any idea what this could be? Please help! Thank you.
The lymph node at this point did not seem to be growing but was not going away - it is non painful most of the time, occasionaly hard but for the most part, just semi firmish. My daughter then had an ultrasound and the lymph node was measured at 2.6 with another enlarged lymph node next to it. We met with a surgeon knowing the known lymph node was coming out, but was informed he wants to grab the other one as well.
30yrs old......I found a lump in my left breast around the end of Feb/2010. Didnt worry to much because i know the first thing the MD will say is wait until you have your cycle and if it's still there come back. So i waited 2 months it was still there. My MD sent me for an US and the radiologist said that the lump is a lymph node and that's common. Really? Never heard of that one. So as she continues with the exam she finds another lump that i couldnt feel....
I was sick with a persistent sore throat and then a very bad sinus infection in September. In October, my pcp noticed a swollen lymph node. She sent me for an ultrasound showing enlarged nodes, with the largest at 1.6cm. All blood work normal. Followup ultrasound in Feb shows some lymph nodes decreased in size but one increased from 1.6cm to 1.9cm. I was referred to ENT. ENT stated lymph node was soft, moveable and he was not worried but stated I could have an FNA for more definitive results.
When going in for results, the lump was about the six of a dime and I was told it was swollen lymph node, to come back next yr for annual mamm. I have had no signs of infection. Since that time, (5months) I can now feel the lump and pain has increased. My question is..How long does a person go with a swollen, painful lymph node before getting rechecked? My Dr. didn't seem too concerned at the time and didn't investigate further for any type of infection.
Since he was the age of 11 months I have noticed a lump on the left side of his neck. It appears to be a swollen lymph node and is mobile. I have brought it to the attention of our family doctor, a walk-in clinic doctor and his pediatrician and they all have only ran a CBC (blood test) and shrugged it off. His results of the test came back within normal range all three times. The mass has not changed in size, but is still there. His doctors don't seem concerned, but as a mom I am.
Hi, I'm not sure if I'am in the right place or not. I'am 26 years old I have had this lump in my left armpit for many years. I canno't see the lump (not like a pimple or ingrown hair), it is under the skin. You can only know there is a lump if you feel the area. The left armpit is also larger than the right, I'm guessing from the lump inside. (when you wear a bra..the fat that tends to stick out at the corner of your armpit..the left it sticks out a lot more).
When I was dx in 2003, my surgeon advised I could have a wide local excision (WLE) and radiotherapy, OR a mastectomy and no rads. Sample lymph node removal would also be done at the same time as the WLE. At that stage though, we did not have the full picture. After the WLE and sample node removal (8), the pathology showed 2 of the lymph nodes to be malignant and I was advised to go back for total axillary node removal a month later, after my wound had healed.
Yesterday I've discovered a lump under my right jaw line which I believe is a swollen lymph node. I've always had a very hard bean-shaped lymph node on the left side of my jaw about 1-2 cm in diameter, and now there's a elastic painless lump of about 5 cm in diameters on the right side. Before it developed I could hardly feel the lymph nodes on the right side of my jaw.
