  1. Presenting Manifestation Right lateral Cervical Mass

  2. Approach to Diagnosis • Symptom with the least number of diseases

  3. Cervical Lymphadenopathy in children • Upper Respiratory Tract infection • Tuberculosis • Lymphoma • Mumps • Dental Caries

  4. Approach to Diagnosis • History • Duration and laterality of adenopathy and change in size over time • Associated symptoms • Ill contacts • Ingestion of unpasteurized animal milk or undercooked meats • Dental problems or mouth sores • Skin lesions or trauma • Animal exposures • Immunization status • Medications • Geographic location and travel

  5. Approach to Diagnosis • Physical examination  • Examination of the lymphatic system, including assessment of the liver, spleen, cervical lymph nodes, and noncervical lymph nodes should be performed. • Hepatosplenomegaly with generalized adenitis indicates a possible infection with EBV, CMV, HIV, histoplasmosis, TB, or syphilis. • These findings also may be signs of neoplastic disease, collagen vascular disease, or other noninfectious etiology

  6. Approach to Diagnosis • Physical examination • The lymph node number, location, size, shape, consistency, tenderness, mobility, and color should be recorded. •   "Reactive" lymph nodes are usually discrete, mobile, feel rubbery, and are minimally tender. • Infected lymph nodes are usually isolated, asymmetric, tender, warm, and erythematous; they may be fluctuant; they are less mobile and discrete than reactive lymph nodes. • Malignant lymph nodes often are hard, fixed or matted to the underlying structures; they are usually nontender. • Oral cavity —periodontal disease, herpangina, gingivostomatitis, or pharyngitis • Eyes — Conjunctival injection • Skin — generalized rash, pustular or papular lesions
