[|Human|] My daughter has had a swollen lymphnode at the back of her neck near the hairline for six months now. She just had labs at a check up and they say it showed low thyroid function. Could these two things be related? Is it possible for it to be cancer?
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. First your low thyroid and swollen lymph node doesn't have any relation. There ate many causes of swollen lymph node.  Most common causes are reactive lymph node and tuberculosis.  Others are rare like lymphoma. If you don't have other features like liver and spleen enlargement then chances of cancer is very, very low. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology to search for the cause.  Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
