What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Groin Area After A Splenectomy?
I had a splenectomy in 2010 and have had swollen lymphnodes in my abdomen and groin since. They do a CT scan every year. This year I was told I have more in my groin compared to previous years. They said they need to surgically remove one to biopsy it. Is this common?
