Unexplained lymphadenopathy without signs or symptoms of serious disease or malignancy can be observed for one month, after which specific testing or biopsy should be performed. In addition, a complete exposure history, review of associated symptoms, and a thorough regional examination help determine whether lymphadenopathy is of benign or malignant origin. Knowledge of these risk factors is critical to determining the management of unexplained lymphadenopathy. Key risk factors for malignancy include older age, firm, fixed nodal character, duration of greater than two weeks, and supraclavicular location. The critical challenge for the primary care physician is to identify which cases are secondary to malignancies or other serious conditions. Among primary care patients presenting with lymphadenopathy, the prevalence of malignancy has been estimated to be as low as 1.1 percent. The majority of patients presenting with peripheral lymphadenopathy have easily identifiable causes that are benign or self-limited.
