Hi,
It is suggestive of a chronic disease. Based on the findings given in your query, your husband seems to be suffering from a chronic inflammatory disease like tuberculosis or Crohn's disease or cancer. Colonoscopy will help in finding the underlying cause of granulomatous lymphadenitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
