Abstract
COVID-19 has brought a number of diseases secondary to viral infection, and there have been several reports on clinical manifestations related to vaccination. One of the effects reported in the literature, either related to the disease or to the vaccines, is the occurrence of cervical lymphadenopathy, which can result in a misleading differential diagnosis of malignant neoplasms. It is important that the specialist be aware of this differential diagnosis for an accurate management of cases.
