What Is The Treatment For The Enlarged Node In The Inner Left Elbow?
I have been undergoing many tests for some swollen lymph nodes and other issues. The most enlarged node is in my inner left elbow. It ranges from about 3/4 to 1 inch across, and over an inch long. It is not terribly hard, and it can be moved a little bit. I also have a shadow on my right lung that has persisted through two ct scans. Some other tiny nodules in my lungs didn t show up on the second scan. What is your first through about the possible cause? Of course I will continue to work with my doctors for an answer.

Hello,
I can understand your concerns.Such type of lymph node enlargement can be due to:
- Lymphoproliferative disorders
- Diabetes
- Infections
as a rare cause leprosy is one of the common reason for solitary enlarged medial epicondyle lymph nodes. If this continue to persist then you may ask for biopsy which will rule out the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
