Abnormal Lymph nodes

Can someone tell me what would cause swollen, abnormal Lymph nodes? My 14 yr old GD had 2 show up on a CT scan. She felt a lump near a previous hernia scar (surgery done when she was 5). They did the scan to check the hernia. The hernia repair is OK. Everything I have researched says leukemia, or Hodgkins. Couldn't it just be something minor? I need someone to tell me it is!

Thank you Maggie! She has/had no illness symptoms such as strep or even a cold. She does have allergies though and I am curious if that could cause this? She's a normal active teen otherwise. Very athletic. Since before all of this happened she has been mentioning to me how tired she is. BUT, she's very busy as most kids her age. Basketball, friends, etc.


Thank you again for replying!

Are there going to be follow-up appointments?
