Enlarged lymph node with 3.5 wall vortex thickening? what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lymph nodes enlarge as a reaction of the body to fight and contain infections, tumors etc, Without further details it is not possible to speculate on the cause. Pl ask the doc who ordered the test
