angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy , angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD) a systemic lymphoma-like disorder characterized by malaise, generalized lymphadenopathy, and constitutional symptoms; it is a nonmalignant hyperimmune reaction to chronic antigenic stimulation.

dermatopathic lymphadenopathy regional lymph node enlargement associated with melanoderma and other dermatoses marked by chronic erythroderma.

any disorder characterized by a localized or generalized enlargement of the lymph nodes or lymph vessels.

lymphadenopathy [lim-fad″ĕ-nop´ah-the]

disease of the lymph nodes; called also adenopathy.

angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy with dysproteinemia (AILD)) a systemic disorder resembling lymphoma characterized by fever, night sweats, weight loss, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, macropapular rash, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, and Coombs'-positive hemolytic anemia. It is considered to be a nonmalignant hyperimmune reaction to chronic antigenic stimulation; there is proliferation of B cells accompanied by profound deficiency of T cells. The disease follows a progressive but extremely variable course: some patients survive for a long period without chemotherapy; in other patients, overwhelming infections rapidly lead to death

dermatopathic lymphadenopathy regional lymph node enlargement associated with melanoderma and other dermatoses marked by chronic erythroderma.

lymphadenopathy syndrome a condition occurring in immunocompromised individuals, characterized by unexplained lymphadenopathy for 3 or more months that involves extrainguinal sites, which on biopsy reveal nonspecific lymphoid hyperplasia. See also AIDS-related complex.

lymphadenopathy

An enlargement of a lymph gland. The preauricular lymph node located 1 cm in front of the external ear drains the orbital region and is sometimes involved with eyelid and conjunctival infection (e.g. adult inclusion conjunctivitis, follicular conjunctivitis). Syn. adenopathy (although strictly speaking this term refers to the enlargement of any gland).

lymphadenopathy

Enlarged lymph nodes, follicular hypertrophy, swollen lymph glands Hematology Enlargement of lymph nodes of any etiology; the differential diagnostic considerations are multiple and divided into reactive patterns; benign lymphadenopathy is characterized by 1. Variability of the follicle–germinal center size; 2. Lack of capsular or fat invasion; 3. Mitotic activity confined to the germinal center; 4. Cortical localization and inhomogeneous distribution of the follicles. See Angiography lymphadenopathy, Benign lymphadenopathy, Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy, Phenytoin lymphadenopathy, Shotty lymphadenopathy.

Patient discussion about lymphadenopathy.

Q. my friend ate a bar of chocolate and now her left neck gland is swollen any ideas why? no other symptoms

A. it can be an infection -just like brandon said- or although this is rare, it can also be an allergic reaction.
if it is an infection, you can usually find such other infection symptoms like : fever, pain in that swollen area, increased white blood cells (in blood work test), etc.

if it is an allergy, usually it will fade away itself in couple of days, or you can just try to consume anti-allergic drugs, such as : loratadine and maybe combined with dexamethasone.

Good luck, and stay healthy always..
