Explanation

"No obvious adenopathy" is a term used in medical reports to indicate that the doctor did not find any swollen or enlarged lymph nodes during the examination. Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures in the body that produce and store cells that fight infection and disease. They can become enlarged due to various reasons, including infection, autoimmune diseases, or cancer. Therefore, not finding any obvious adenopathy is generally a good sign, suggesting the absence of these conditions.
