In this episode of Pediatrics Now, Host Holly Wayment and Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Shafqat Shah discuss how clinicians should evaluate new lumps, bumps, and enlarged lymph nodes in children, adolescents, and young adults. Dr. Shah explains features that suggest reactive vs. malignant nodes, when to observe versus order imaging or labs, when to biopsy, and considerations about steroids, infections like cat scratch disease, and transitioning care for young adults.
