A member asked:
2 enlarged lymph nodes in the ant mediastinum, pet suv of abt 4.7, suspected thymoma nearby. can this be lymphoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on the size: You need to tell us what the ct scan shows in the mediastinum? Are the lymph nodes enlarged? What is their size? You need a follow up ct/pet scan in a couple of months, unless your lymph nodes are larger than 2cm size. Tell us more details.
