Should I be concerned about lymphoma with enlarged lymph nodes found in CT scan?
Patient: I have paraesophageal lymph node x2. I have no symptoms. I have had endosopy x2 done within the past 6 months. no lymph node found on the first endo. On 2nd endo nonbleeding angioectasiis found in the duodenum, No finding to account for abdominal lymphadehopathy.Have had ct done whereas an enlarged lymph node was found. have had pet scan/ct done whereas showed a 2nd enarged node, size of 2 cm. Have had dcis a year ago, treated with partial mastectomy and radiation. Will have follow up with another endo ultrasound and biopy. Should I be concerned about lymphoma? Doctor: Hi and welcome to HCM, thanks for the query.at this point you should not be worried since most such findings are not indicating malignancy. enlarged lymoh nodes can be found in healthy people or as as reaction to any systemic infection. You need just regular follow up and thats all. Wish you good health.Regards
