Hello,
As per my surgical experience, the lymph nodes around esophagus going down to belly button seems to be para esophageal lymph nodes most likely. Keeping in view of previous kidney carcinoma, metastasis is the most probable diagnosis in this regard and hence it is worth to get the PET scan report before further comments.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
