A member asked:

What does enlarged lymph nodes in the abdomen that showed up on a ct scan mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Something or Nothing: Depends in the situation. It could be a normal response to an infection or injury or could be something serious like lymphoma. Your doctor can help decide whether more investigation is needed or not.
