O que pode causar linfonodo no pescoço? - Dr Jônatas Catunda

The lymph node, or lymph gland, is an extremely important defense organ. It helps produce defense cells and antibodies and filters lymph. In the neck, we have about 300 lymph nodes, almost a third of all the lymph nodes in the body. This is because they need to fight microorganisms that try to enter our body through the nose or mouth. They enlarge due to an ongoing infection, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, tooth decay, acne, lymph node tuberculosis, HIV, etc. In people over 50, two-thirds of lymph node enlargement (lymph node enlargement) is due to lymph node metastases—thyroid cancer, mouth cancer, nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx, or even lymphoma—a type of lymph node cancer. Therefore, they should be evaluated! Reactive, benign lymph nodes are usually enlarged but shrink after the infection is treated. They are painful, mobile, and soft. They are more common in children, adolescents, and young adults. ▶ Leave your questions in the comments!
