ABSTRACT
Cervical lymphadenopathy refers to lymphadenopathy of the cervical lymph nodes . It is a sign or a symptom, not a diagnosis. Cervical lymph node swelling can be a reliable indicator of infection or other inflammation in the area. It may also indicate cancer, but this is far less common. The condition most commonly represents a transient response to a benign local or generalized infection. A case of a 35 -year-old male with a history of neck swellings is presented. The swellings had been of 6-month duration. The lymph nodes were excised and were confirmed histopathologically as Reactive lymphadenopathy with unremarkable salivary gland. Clinical progress was uneventful and post-operative recovery was excellent without recurrence.
Key words: Cervical lymphadenopathy, Occupational hazards, lymphadenitis
