Linfadenopatia cervical na infância: etiologia, diagnóstico diferencial e terapêutica
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
Linfadenopatia é o termo empregado em qualquer alteração em tamanho e consistência de linfonodos. A linfadenopatia cervical é um problema muito frequente nos pacientes da faixa etária pediátrica e, em geral, representa reação transitória a processos inflamatórios ou infecciosos locorregionais ou sistêmicos. Porém, em uma pequena parcela, há neoplasias como fator etiológico. Na grande maioria das vezes, esses pacientes são efetivamente tratados pelo pediatra, porém, quando não há resposta à terapia inicial ou quando há suspeita de malignidade, o cirurgião pediátrico ou de cabeça e pescoço deve ser consultado. Este trabalho teve por objetivo revisar a etiologia, o diagnóstico diferencial e a terapêutica da linfadenopatia cervical na infância.
