Q: meaning of: nonspecific, nonelarged lymph nodes. ovoid, hypoechoic probable lymph nodes size: 0.4x0.1x0.4cm. no definite fatty hilum. should i be concerned?

: Nope, not at all. It just means they see tiny echoes that they are assuming are lymph nodes. Of course any test should be interpreted in context of a complete history and physical exam, but this sounds insignificant.
