A member asked:
What is the normal size range for retroperitoneal/periaortic lymph node? can it be common for them to be over 1cm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, node over 1 cm by CT scan is normally seen. By PubMed website: The upper limit for the diameter is not the same for all lymph nodes, but varies with the position of the node in the para-aortic chains, ranging from 7 to 15 mm, with increasing diameters in the caudal direction.

2 CT w/ contrast scans 5 months apart. Each time there was a stable solitary 13mm Periaortic/ retroperitoneal lymph node. First report used the term periaortic and second used the term " Mildly enlarged retroperitoneal" node. Is this normal size?
