Explanation

"No adenopathy" in a medical document refers to the absence of any abnormal enlargement or swelling in the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures in the body that produce and store cells that fight infection and disease. So, if a report says "no adenopathy," it means that the lymph nodes appear to be normal and there's no sign of them being unusually large or swollen.
