Brief Answer:
It may indicate infective etiology or it may be a non specific finding also
Detailed Answer:
Hello
It is most likely lymphadenitis.It may indicate infective etiology or it may be a non specific finding also.
It is important to know symptoms and reason for investigation.
It is most likely not a case of lymphoma.There are many other findings in lymphoma like multiple enlarged lymph nodes at various sites,visceral enlargement,typical symptoms etc.These are not in your case,so don't worry.
However,it need clinical correlation.
