Hi. The abdominal gland are also called abdominal tonsils. They are swollen due to variety of reasons ranging from simple infection of the intestines draining into them to some form of malignancy. They have to be followed by ultrasonography regularly and to be biopsied if not regressing by regular antibiotic courses.
