Nothing or everythin: thick ileocecal valve could be normal anatomic variation.or could be a sign of problem in the distal ileum or the cecum or both like crohn disease for example it depend on your symptoms and why the test was done it could be the appendix or any inflammatory process in the area and that could cause enlarge lymph node. of course cancer could not be ruled out i do recommend colonoscopy
