Hello user, many times lymph nodes remain even after successful treatment.... One needs to correlate with clinical symptoms and reports like ESR.... Once the question arises then one must go ahead with the diagnostic procedure.... If the biopsy in your case was an excision biopsy ie whole of the tissue has been removed then there will be no tissue left for further investigations....

would like to know more about your case for commenting further....
