What Does This MRI Report Of Lumbar Spine Mean?

Yes.I have a radiology MRI report of my lumbar spine. While the MRI was for my spine the Dr. that wrote the report found an enlarged iliac bifurcation region lymph nodes up to 2 cm in cross section, CT abdomen and pelvis with attention to the retroperitoneum might be considered and to exclude neoplastic process-lymphoma.I have no idea what this all means.
