Overview

Ultrasound can help in the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy to define the presence and extent of a lymph node abscess, to differentiate malignant lymph nodes from lymph node enlargement due to infections. On ultrasound, characteristic findings of lymphadenopathy, include increased lymph node size.

Ultrasound

Ultrasoundmay be helpful in the diagnosis of lymphadenopathy. In the assessment of number, size, form, marginal description, and internal structures in patients with lymphadenopathy, this imaging modality can be used. Furthermore, color Doppler ultrasonography is used to differentiate between older pre-existing lymphadenopathy and newly active lymphadenopathy in the vascular pattern. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of lymphadenopathy include:[1][2][3]

  • Increased lymph node size
