Patient: hi. i have a 8 month old baby boy and a few days ago we noticed a large lymphnode under his right arm pit. we went to the docters but they have no idea what it is. we did blood test a scan and a sonar. but they still dont know. It measures 18mm x 12mm in diameter. it does not hurt him when we touch it but today he started getting grumpy. He s eating and dringking. the colour is a blue purlpe colour. Please answer me back on my email address as it will alow me to sent you a foto of the lymphnode. thank you ( YYYY@YYYY ) Soritha klopper Doctor: Hi,  A Lymph node of that size in the arm pitfalls under the category of insignificant lymphadenopathy and need not be worried about, please.  Unless he has symptoms like extreme pallor, anemia, bone pains, chronic fever for more than a month, loss of appetite and weight loss - you need not worry, please.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
