Lymphadenopathy is a term meaning "disease of the [[lymph nodes]]." It is, however, almost synonymously used with "swollen/enlarged lymph nodes". When the infection is of the lymph nodes themselves, it is called lymphadenitis, but when the infection is of the lymph channels, it is called [[lymphangitis]]. | |||
