Lymphadenopathy defined as swelling of lymph nodes which are elements of the immune system and in dogs located in the submandibular, prescapular, axillar, inguinal and popliteal regions. Lymphadenopathy can be solitary, regional or generalized. The swelling of lymph nodes is a common clinical finding that can reflect a variety of underlying diseases in dogs. When such findings are detected, malignant conditions such as lymphoma or metastatic neoplasia and other conditions, such as lymphadenitis or reactive hyperplasia, should be distinguished from each other to determine the appropriate treatment and to be informed about the prognosis.
