Yes.: But the degree of concern is uncertain until one knows why the lymph nodes are enlarged. Could be any one of a number of different things. I would be concerned enough to continue follow up with your doc until you have an answer. I suspect there was more info in the CT report that would be very helpful and you may have had some labs already or even a scope?
