Lymphadenopathy is a term meaning "disease of the
lymph nodes." When the infection is of the lymph nodes themselves, it is called lymphadenitis, but when the infection is of the lymph channels, it is called
lymphangitis.Enlarged lymph nodes are commonly referred to as
glands, as in "swollen glands". However, they do not produce
secretions and therefore, by definition, are not glands. The root "Adeno" literally means glands. Therefore the term lymphadenopathy should be abandoned, in favor of "lymph node enlargement"
