A member asked:

Can "mild colitis' found on colonscopy biopsy cause small nodes or fat deposits in abdominal ct scan? mrcp & eus normal. i'm worried, blood normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe lymph nodes: colitis doesn't cause fat. I can cause lymph nodes to enlarge. LN enlargement is not abnormal if there is adjacent inflammation. With all other things being OK, I would not worry. If you are, ask your doctor to do follow up scans. Try to avoid CT due to the added radiation.
