Popis: Purpose: Lymphadenopathy (LAP) is a common problem in the pediatric patient. History, physical examinations (PE), ultrasounds, and blood tests were often obtained while studying such lesions. Malignancy should be highly suspected in certain conditions. This study evaluates the relationship between malignant LAP and risk factors for pediatric patients. Materials and methods: Medical records of matched patients are reviewed, and data are retrospectively collected. History, PE findings, laboratory data, ultrasound findings, and pathological findings were recorded and analyzed. The median values (interquartile range, IQR) were expressed for continuous variables, and the number of patients (percentage) for categorical variables. Comparisons between groups were performed using the Mann–Whitney U test and the chi-squared test. The significance was set as p value
