Cervical Lymphadenopathy
Cervical lymphadenopathy
Lymphatic cells are present in the whole body
with cells of the hemopoetic sy
In some tissues higher concentrationlymhonodes, tonsills, spleen, bone, marrow
Basic function-mechanical filter
-immunological barrier
In ENT area-submental, submandibular, pre-and
retroauricular, before and behind
sternocledomast.muscle, occopital, nuchal,
supra-and infraclavicular lnn.
Basic investigation
Case history
Somatic investigation
Ivestigation of the other organs according
to location of lnn.
Auxiliary laboratory tests
Case history
Age
Job
Sweating
Fewer
Loss of weigh
Local or general infection
Trauma
Itching of the skin
Pain of the joins
Using of the drugs
Contact with animals
Time of enlargment
Somatic investigation of lymph
nodes
Size
Consistence(abscess, fluctuation, stiffnes,
elasticity)
Mobility or adherence
Changes of the skin
Sensitivity for palpation
Division of the lymph nodes
Consequence
Liver and spleen
Inflammation in the areas from tibutary
tissues
Marks of the symstemic disease(joins)
Investigation of the nasopharynx,
PNC,pharynx, larynx, tonsils, ear
investigation
Changes of the skin
Laboratory tests
Blood count
Serology(IM,CMV,borrelia, syphillis,
toxoplasmosis)
Microbiology(culture from suspected
areas,haemocolture, TB tests)
X ray of lungs, mediastinum, ultrasound, CT
Diagnostic removal of cerv. Lnn
Histology
Other auxiliary tests(revmatoid factor,HIV antib.,
LE cells, ANF..)
CT
Differential diagnosis
Very wide
Basic division: Acute
Chronic
1.Inflammatory a.Non specific
b.Specific
2.Neoplastic lymphadenopathy
Non Specific Lymhadenopathy I
Very often
Acute painfull swelling
Possible fluctuation
Angina, CMV,Boreliosis,Rubeola
virus,Adenovirus
Revmatoid artritis
Fatigue disease
Dermatopoetic lymphadenopathy
Lymphadenopathy due to drug hypersensitivity
Child with
lymphadenopathy
Lymphadenopathy in
acute tonsillitis
Non Specific Lymphadenopathy II
Benign angiofollicular
lymhoma(Castleman)
Collagenosis
Monocutaneous
lymphadenopathy(Kawasaki)
Sjogren´s disease
Non malignant idiopatic histiocytosis
Disturbances of lipid
metabolism(Niemann-Pick´s disease)
1b.Specific Lymphadenopathy
TB
Sarcoidosis(Bock´s disease)
Lupus erytematodes
Toxoplasmosis
Cat scratch fever
Tularemia
Anthrax
Syphyllis
Lyme disease
Brucelosis, Actinomycisis, Listeriosis, Leishmaniosis
Cat scratch fever
TB
Tularemia
HIV Lymphadenopathy
2.Neoplastic Lymhadenopathy
A. Metastases
B.Lymphomas
Differential diagnosis
Medial and lateral cysts, laryngocele, diseases
of thyreoid gland, chemodectoma(carotic body
tumor), neurogenic tumor, cervical lipoma,
hemangioma, lymhangioma(cystic hygroma),
cystadenolymhoma or other tu of salivary
glands,malignant tumours of soft tissues
Hodgkin's Lymphoma
2a.Lymph nodes metastases
Carcinomatous cells reach the peripheral
sinus of the lymph nodes via the afferent
vessels
Loss of mobility and adherence to
sorrounding tissue due to malignant
infiltration of the capsulae-worse prognosis
Irregularly spreading of metastases due to
obstructed lymph nodes
TNM classification
NO-regional lymph nodes are not palpable
N1-mobile, homolateral enlarged lymph
nodes
N2-mobile, bilateral or contralateral lymph
nodes
N3-fixed lymph nodes
Stage grouping based on TNM
classification for malignant tumors
Melanoma
Neck cancer
Malignant lymhoma
Removal of lymph node
