Malignant node
Does lymphoma lymph node move. I had lymph nodes 1.2*0.7cm in posterior neck and 0.9*0.8cm in groin area. Chest is clear. Can it be lymphoma. The node is moveable and bit soft bit hard. It size has not changed since 7 month. Blood test and esr is normal. Fnac says non specific reactive lymphadenitis. But the only problem is it is not going. No other symtoms. Cn it be leukemia or lymphoma??

Looks you’ve done google search on it. Lymphoma is better diagnosed on biopsy and IHC. Leukaemia on BM study. Relax for now. Visit your physician for a better physical evaluation. Around 1cm LN settle down with good antibiotics
Next Steps
Follow up with your physician

On the basis of your history chances of lymphoma are rare. But Confirmation can only be done by biopsy of node with histopathological examination. At times FNAC may be negative. I would like to suggest you not to google things and visit an ENT specialist.

Lymph nodes in posterior part of neck and groin region is more favour of lymphoma. Repeat CBC with peripheral smear and FNAC. Negative FNAC has no value. If repeated blood test and FNAC are normal than go for a lymph node biopsy of neck region. Also get x-ray chest done.
Next Steps
Consult online and see any lymph node enlargement in other areas .

It is Reactive Lymphadenitis with indicates an underlying Chronic Inflammation. The posterior neck node points to primary lesion in scalp. Could be something as innocuous as Dandruff which needs to be treated!
As for groin, suggest you meet a General Surgeon to examine you to find the primary lesion.
