Ulcer Node Syndrome
The association of a skin ulcer (lesion) with regional or distant lymphadenopathy (LAD) has been termed ulcer (U)/node (N) syndrome. The existence of both adenopathy and ulcerative lesions in a patient can narrow diagnostic possibilities. Appropriate blood and microbiologic exams help confirm the diagnosis. This syndrome is further classified in one of four categories: 1. Predominant lymphadenopathy (N greater than U) 2. Lymphadenopathy only 3. Predominant ulcerative (U greater than N) 4. Ulcer only
