AB  - Lymphadenopathy,  or  enlarged  lymph  nodes,  may  be  the  result  of  acute  or  chronic  inflammation,  or  infiltration  via  malignant  cells.  A  lymph  node  measuring  greater  than  10  mm  in  longest  diameter  is  generally  considered  enlarged.  There  are  several  exceptions  to  this  rule:  (1)  epitrochlear  nodes  measuring  more  than  5  mm  are  abnormal;  (2)  inguinal  nodes  measuring  more  than  10–15  mm  are  abnormal;  and  (3)  palpable  supraclavicular,  iliac,  or  popliteal  nodes  are  always  considered  abnormal.  Palpable  lymph  nodes  are  common  in  otherwise  healthy  infants  and  children  as  a  result  of  reactive  hyperplasia.1
