Ctshows spleen 17cm ,small axillary lymph nodes, retroperitoneal lymph nodes& mesentric lymph node noted, normal blood count &bone marrow,no infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: The combination of enlarged spleen and internal lymph nodes could be any of several infections (mononucleosis, syphilis, HIV, and several others, of course depeding on risk); inflammatory conditions like sarcoidosis; various malignancies like lymphoma; and more. The doctor(s) who have been evaluating this problem and requested the CT scan are the only ones who can answer accurately. Good luck.
