Medical Conditions - Adenopathy

Adenopathy refers to inflammatory enlargement of lymph nodes. We have lymph glands located in various parts of the body next to the neck, ears, jaws, armpits, and groin. They play an important role in developing the body's immune mechanism. Whenever there is an infection or foreign body reaction, the nearest lymph node to the site of infection tends to get inflamed and swell up. Which we call as lymphadenopathy.
