"The term mediastinal lymphadenopathy implies lymph node disease and is not synonymous with mediastinal lymph node enlargement. Enlarged lymph nodes may be simply reactive as in most bacterial pneumonia, or diseased due to invasion by e.g. tuberculosis or cancer. Ideally, the term lymphadenopathy would be applied only to diseased lymph nodes however this distinction may require pathological analysis. Moreover, the disease begins in normal-sized lymph nodes which enlarge with disease progression."

"If incidentally detected, the ACR committee white paper in 2018 suggests clinical consultation, further workup with CT-PET +/- follow up CT chest in 3-6 months if the short-axis diameter is over 15 mm and if there is no explicable disease 9. Interval size increase on follow-up indicates the need for biopsy."
