Size, where lymphadenopathy in adults is often defined as a short axis of one or more lymph nodes is greater than 10mm. [29] By extent: Localized lymphadenopathy: due to localized spot of infection; e.g., an infected spot on the scalp will cause lymph nodes in the neck on that same side to swell up
