My son has had swollen lymph nodes on one side from the top of the neck down to the nape of the neck above the shoulder for 3 years.  Not in the clavicle area!! He has had a lymph node biopsy that came back benign, but his new doctor says that lower neck lymph nodes are more serious. He has had a biopsy, the doctor said they are very small, and he has had them for 3 years...is this really of concern?
Hi...you need not worry as the size i insignificant and one more issue is that if they were really serious - they won't go on like this for 3 years without going into complications. Biopsy too is benign. So do not worry. Regards -
