I think that your PCP should sit down with the interpreting radiologist & get his differential diagnosis of such lymphode findings. Are there other studies that would help or simple followup u/s only? What consultants would be helpful? The basic question here is whether it's a reactive lymph node or one consistent with malignancy.
