Doctor..... I have a lump on the side of my neck... Could this be a tumor 😥
This is a lymph gland....and in order to understand more, we will talk a little about lymphomas 👌
📌 start what are the lymph nodes! 🤔
Lymph nodes are part of the body's immune system...
📌 found where in the body 🤔
It is present in every part of the body.... One of the most famous of its potential is in the neck... under the armpits... in the pelvic area... or the groin area.👌
Does inflation have a certain age?
It can come at any age....... in children....
Is all swollen lymph nodes considered a malignant tumor?
Absolutely not...... More than 70% of lymphomas are the result of infections in the area next to the glands 👌
I mean, for example, if someone has swollen lymph nodes in the neck area..... then there will be inflammation, for example, in his teeth... or in the sinuses....and so on
📌 Ok, how do I differentiate between inflammation and a cancerous tumor (lymphoma)!?
The cancerous tumor will be more than one gland next to each other..... and they may be attached to each other..... and they move and are not painful at all and increase in size quickly..
As for the inflammation, it will be one or two in a lot... and it will be easy to move in all directions..... and it will be painful as a result of the inflammation.... and it will not increase in size or....
What are the tests and x-rays required for diagnosis??
We need to analyze a complete blood picture..... and sound waves on the area where the inflation...
📌 Ok what is the treatment!!??
In most cases... we need to take a sample... to determine the type of tumor... and thus determine the exact treatment
