I'm really concerned about what the FNAC report means for my left-sided cervical lymph node swelling. It mentioned necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis with small lymphocytes, immunoblasts, macrophages, and some epithelioid cell granulomas, plus specks of necrosis. Could you explain what this means and suggest any treatments? Also, should I be worried about this finding?

Treatment for necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis typically involves a course of antibiotics such as Augmentin (AmoxicillinClavulanic Acid). In cases where the infection is severe or not responding to antibiotics, a short course of Prednisone** may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Hypoechoic lesions in the breast may or may not require surgery. If they‚Äôre benign, monitoring them with regular follow-ups is often sufficient. Surgery is typically considered if there‚Äôs any suspicion of malignancy or significant changes.
