Abstrakt		The purpose of this study was to determine under which dagnoses the children were sent to hematooncologist for the examination of enlarged lymph nodes and other masses in peripheral node and the need of further evaluation. The medical records of 317 children examined at Hematooncologic unit of University children hospital Ljubljana from 1997 to October 1999 were reviewed. In 40% of cases we decided to perform the additional diagnostic procedures. Most common finding was lymphadenitis, in other cases the masses which most often can be mistaken for enlarged lymph nodes (remnants of congenital structures) were diagnosed. The malignant disease was found in 20 children (8,5% of children with enlarged lymph nodes as a leading symptom). Lymph node enlargement in chilhood is common, usually benign and self limited condition.
Izvleček		V retrospektivni študiji smo želeli ugotoviti, kako pogosto smo se pri otroku s povečanimi bezgavkami ali drugimi zatrdlinami v perifernih bezavčnih ložah na osnovi anamneze in kliničnega pregleda odločili za dodatno diagnostiko in kaj je bila najpogostejša napotna diagnoza izbranega zdravnika. Zato smo pregledali medicinsko dokumentacijo 317 otrok, ki so bili napoteni v Službo za onkologijo in hematologijo Pek v Ljubljani v letih 1997 do oktobra 1999. Pri 40% otrok smo se odločili za dodatno diagnostiko. Najpogosteje je šlo za reaktivni limfadenitis, v četrtini primerov pa za spremembe (večinoma ostanki kongenitalnih struktur), ki jih lahko zamenjamo s povečanimi bezgavkami. Le pri 20 bolnikih je bila vzrok maligna bolezen (pri 8,5 % bolnikov, pri katerih so bile povečane bezgavke vodilni simptom). Povečanje bezgavk pri otrocih je pogost, večinoma nenevaren in prehoden pojav.
