A reactive lymph node is the same as an enlarged lymph node. Lymph nodes can become enlarged for a variety of reasons, most of which aren't serious. The ICD code for a reactive lymph node is 785.6.

Why do you have Weight loss swollen tender lymph nodes?
actually, you can have swollen lymph nodes from a sinus infection as well as other things. ANSWER: Your lymph nodes swell up as they stop bacteria that is carried through the bloodstream. They store this and release it in smaller quantities that the body can handle. Swollen lymph nodes are the first sign of an infection in the body.

What are the most common sites for mestastic breast cancer?
Breast cancer most commonly metastasises first to lymph nodes in the axilla of the same side as the affected breast. In more advanced disease, the cancer commonly metastasises to lymph nodes in other regions, to bone, to the liver, and/or to the lungs, and later possibly also to the contralateral breast and to other organs. When there is no evident lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis, the sentinel node may be examined to confirm absence of axillary lymph node metastasis. The lymph nodes in the axilla drain fluid (lymph) from the breast by interconnecting lymph vessels, and the "sentinel node" is the first node to receive lymph from the particular tumour. If there is no tumour in the sentinel node (and no signs of metastasis to other sites), breast cancer has a very good chance of cure after treatment.
Are lympnoma and lymphoma the same thing?
Can't find 'lympnoma' in my dictionary ... but it cross references to 'lymphoma which are malignant tumors that arise in the lymph nodes or in other lymphoid tissue.
What is the main role of lymph nodes in the bodys defence?
The lymph nodes store and make B cells which fight antigens (foreign substances in the body). To elaborate on and attempt to complete the answer, the lymph nodes are where the adaptive immune response begins and is maintained (contrasted with the innate immune response). Dendritic cells circulate throughout the body and pick up antigens (foreign substances in the body, e.g., those of microorganisms such as bacterial cell wall proteoglycans) associated with infected tissue and upon returning to the lymph nodes present them to T and B lymphocytes that pass through or may even reside at the node. The lymphocytes that now recognize the particular antigen proliferate and return to the main circulation and attack the associated microorganism. The adaptive immune response, as by proliferation of antigen specific lymphocytes, is also maintained at the lymph nodes after the infection is gone in case reinfection by the same microorganism occurs.
Where does lymph originally come from?
Lymph is basically the fluid that is between the cells of the body (interstitial fluid), and is basically the same as blood plasma. It initially leaks out of the arteries because the blood in the arteries are under higher hydrostatic pressure than the tissues on the outside of the arteries. As it collects in the tissues, it is sucked up by the lymph system and returned to circulation in the subclavian vein.
What considerations limit the scope of a laryngectomy?
