Abstract
Palpable lymph nodes are a common finding in childhood. They often represent an appropriate response to local infection, particularly ear and respiratory tract infections in early childhood. However, whilst enlarged lymph nodes are predominantly benign, lymphadenopathy can represent serious underlying disease. Key features from the history and examination should allow differentiation of benign versus potentially malignant pathology.
