Explanation

"No cervical lymphadenopathy" means that there are no swollen or enlarged lymph nodes in the neck area. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped glands throughout the body that help fight off infections. When they are swollen, it often indicates that the body is fighting off an illness or infection. So, if a doctor says there is "no cervical lymphadenopathy," it means the lymph nodes in the neck are normal in size and there's likely no infection or disease in that area.
