Lymphadenitis Lipomelanotic

**Lipomelantotic lymphadenitis (lipomelanic)** is a benign lesion of the lymph nodes with pronounced infiltration of their fatty and melanic elements, as well as reactive inflammatory tissues. Lymphadenomas occur most often in areas that are subject to constant trauma.

As a rule, multiple nodular lipomatosis or lipomatous lesions are hidden under the guise of lipomelanotic lymphadenitis. If we take the disease in a general sense, lymphography allows us to assess the condition of the lymph nodes in the neck, as well as identify indirect signs of skin and breast diseases (the lymph node is enlarged). Several types of lymphadenitis are known. Depending on which cell is the main cause of their formation, three groups of these pathologies are distinguished: infectious (caused by viruses or bacteria), oncological (develop due to the proliferation of malignant tissues) and functional. This classification helps to understand how treatment is prescribed to a patient. In addition, diseases are divided into stages, so doctors can objectively assess the dynamics of treatment and the need for surgical intervention, if required.
