Hello,
There is multiple lymph node enlargements is there in the abdomen. We have to rule out the possibility of metastasis( spread of cancer).
A biopsy is required to confirm the metastasis. You can also opt for a PET-CT to confirm the nature of the nodes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
