what is retroperitoneal adenopathy?

HI,

This is very interesting question you asked. Not many people know what is this condition. Retroperitoneal adenopathy is swelling behind lymph nodes that are located near peritoneum. These are lymph nodes that are located around abdominal area. This can cause many problems and one of them is even cancer. So a doctor visit should be a good idea. CT scan can determine what is actually going one with the lymph nodes. Are you experiencing any abdominal pain and swelling? Why are you interested in this condition? This condition can lead to many other things, but it is hard to diagnose it, so if you notice anything the best thing for you would be a CT scan.

I hope this helped you.

 

Thank you. My husband was diagnosed with AITL Lymphoma and I was trying to understand his PET scan results before the doctor goes over them in two days.
