Mildly prominent retroperitoneal lymph nodes. any thoughts on this ct comment ?

Nonspecific: This is nonspecific. The lymph nodes appear prominent but not enlarged by size criteria. Your medical conditions need to be taken into consideration by your physician. Lymph nodes can become enlarged due to many reasons, including infection, inflammation, malignancy. Please review your ct exam with your physician.
