The assessment of lymphadenopathy in children is a common diagnostic problem in pediatrics. An understanding of the wide variety of diseases and conditions that may present as lymphadenopathy is essential to determining the most appropriate work up for an individual patient. Although the majority of these children will prove to have a benign disorder, it is important that the pediatrician also have an appreciation for the malignant diseases that may present with lymphadenopathy, so that in such cases the diagnosis of a serious or life-threatening disease can be made in a timely manner.
儿童淋巴结病的评估是儿科常见的诊断问题。了解可能表现为淋巴结病的多种疾病和情况对于确定针对个体患者的最合适检查至关重要。尽管这些儿童中的大多数最终会被证明患有良性疾病，但儿科医生了解可能表现为淋巴结病的恶性疾病也很重要，以便在这种情况下能够及时诊断出严重或危及生命的疾病。
