	Answer by Dr. Rajgopal, MBBS (doctor) on Sat 21, Nov 2009 06:04pm: Hi, The lumps may be Lymphomas. Other causes could be- allergic reaction, brucellosis, cellulitis, folliculitis, Hodgkin’s disease, Lymphadenitis, mononucleosis or Tuberculosis. Please let your friend go for all the necessary investigations to rule out the cause. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
