Diagnosed With Diverticulitis. Chest X-ray Done. Possibility Of Retroperitoneal Or Gastrointestinal Cancer?
Thanks for writing in.
In any case, relax and don't worry . I know it is easier said than done .
Finding a palpable supraclavicular lymph node , requires investigations as soon as possible. The right supraclavicular lymph nodes drains the region of mediastinum, lungs and esophagus. Hence it is important to rule out conditions like Lung , Retroperitoneal or gastrointestinal cancer. The right supraclavicular lymph node might be palpable even in cases of infections. In a few individuals, no cause is found for the lymph node. If no cause is found after all the investigations, please be reassured.
Hope I have answered your queries. In case you don't have any further queries, kindly accept my answer.
Any reviews are welcome.
Have a nice day.
