Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A subcentimetric mesentric lymph node and similar lymph nodes in both inguinal region need to be observed. Such small lymph nodes if few in number may be due to reactive inflammation and can be left for observation. If necessary repeat ultrasound scans can be done to assess size and if needed higher imaging may be done later. In my opinion it is unlikely to be due to the cancer but still needs to be observed.
