Gland tumor. Kids of all ages

The term "gland tumor" usually is meant the increasing (sometimes in combination with hardening) of one or several lymph nodes. In infants less than one year it is difficult for parents to spot this symptom, therefore in case of doubt you must see a doctor. In grown kids lymph nodes especially those at neck, often get bigger noticeably as a result of small infection and rarely serve as a reason of worries. But doctor should be always notified about steady and prevailing enlargement of lymph nodes.
