Swollen lymph nodes
Just depending on this report should i be assured that it is nothing serious or i should go for biopsy. The characteristics look like benign because it is not increasing in size and moveable. What should i do? I also had swollen lymph nodes in groin. Size of lymph node is 1.2*0.7cm

I think it’s always safer to go for excision biopsy and confirm the diagnosis. Fnac checks only a sample of tissue in microscope . We don’t know what is the changes in other parts of the swelling. In excision biopsy we examine each Nd every slice of it in the microscope . It is better
