Hello,
Lymphoma is kind of malignant disease and it is really matter of concern or worry. If this is the malignant disease, then lymph node is very likely condition.
Now, only thing is the condition needs to be confirmed. In my opinion, the biopsy is the best option to rule out the disease, you can discuss this with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
