📖What is Enlarged Lymph Nodes?

Enlarged lymph nodes, or lymphadenopathy, are swollen glands commonly felt in the neck, armpits, or groin, which are part of the immune system and often swell in response to nearby infection. They may be tender and mobile with an infection, or firm and fixed when related to a more serious cause. Size, location, and how long the swelling has lasted are important clues to the cause.
