Infraauricular lymph node granulating lymphadenitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the lymph nodes located beneath the auricle (outer ear). This condition is characterized by the presence of granulomas, which are small clusters of immune cells that form in response to infection or irritation. It often occurs due to infections, such as viral or bacterial, or as a reaction to foreign substances. Symptoms may include swelling, tenderness, and discomfort in the affected area.
