C S Kelly et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 1998 Aug.

Abstract

Lymphadenopathy is a common problem in children and adolescents. A detailed history and physical examination in addition to knowledge of lymph node anatomy is often adequate for diagnosis. The infectious and noninfectious causes of adenopathy are outlined according to location. Medical and surgical evaluation and treatment are discussed, with special attention given to mycobacterial infections, cat scratch disease, and lymphoma.
