Prevalence of Lymphadenopathy of the Head and Neck in Infants and Children

Lynn W. Herzog

Comprehensive Child Health Program, Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts

This study demonstrates the widespread prevalence of "normal" adenopathy in children; i.e., not associated with infectious adenitis or serious system illness. The knowledge of this distri bution is helpful in determining when adenopathy may be pathologic. Occipital and postau ricular adenopathy is a common nonspecific finding in infancy; but, over the age of 2 years, it is sufficiently rare that it can be a useful diagnostic finding. Cervical and submandibular nodes are rare in infants under 12 months but are common in older children. Supraclavicular nodes are probably pathologic at any age.
