A member asked:

My husband got an abdomenal ultrasound done, the report says porta hepatis 16x6mm hypoechoic lymph node found. what are the possible diagnosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lymph nodes: It all depends on what is being looked for. A lymph node that measure over 10mm in one direction is considered abnormal, but it has to correlate with a disease being sought. You both, can talk to the doctor to find out the consideration he was making when the ultrasound was ordered.
