Does A 13.5 Cm Spleen And Enlarged Lymph Nodes (Mesenteric And Retroperitoneal Adenopathy) Suggest Lymphoma?
I had a stabbing pain in my lower right side. Dr. recommended CT scan. Does a 13.5 cm spleen and enlarged lymph nodes (Mesenteric and retroperitoneal adenopahthy) discovered from a CT scan mean that you have lymphoma? I have an appt tomorrow with a local oncologist. What tests should be given. White male good shape 48y/o Thanks

Hi and welcome to HCM, thanks for the query.
If there is no any other symptom or blood work disorder then it is not likely to be lymphoma. spleen enlargement and lymph node enlragement can be found in any systemic infections and in many benign hematologic disorders. So you need further tests but lymphoma is the last thing to think of.
Wish you good health.Regards
