Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / January 2006CT scan result
I am new to this forum and got here when I researched "periaortic nodes". (I replied to a post here and asked a question about these nodes.) I decided it might be better to post a new post. I recently had an abd. scan done for a renal stone. The scan showed the stone as well as "several periaortic nodes, 1mm in size." Everytime I researched I ended up on web pages about cancer, lymphoma, and Hodgkins. Is this something I should be concerned about or are these nodes present in everyone? My first thought is that until there is reason to biopsy one of these nodes, they are of no concern. Anybody know if these are significant and do I need to be concerned? Thank you.

I wouldn't be surprised if the nodes were a bit enlarged, if a person has a kidney stone. Ask your question on sci.med.radiology (wait for 2 or 3 replies) and if they're not concerned about it, post on sci.med. There's a veteran of kidney issues who reads and posts there. Best wishes, J Thank you. Please excuse my ignorance...how do I get to sci.med.radiology? Melissa > Thank you. Please excuse my ignorance...how do I get to sci.med.radiology? I guess through Google, unless your ISP carries newsgroups and you use your Outlook Express (newsreader feature). Copy and paste these into a browser. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/sci.med.radiology/ to post or read to sci.med.radiology Since Steph's already replied to you, you might as well go over to sci.med (below) http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med/ to post or read to sci.med Best wishes, J > Thank you. Please excuse my ignorance... Hey, most of us didn't make it through medical school. Probably most of us didn't even apply. :)  SignatureIf John McCain gets the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, my vote for President will be a write-in for Jiang Zemin. >I am new to this forum and got here when I researched "periaortic nodes". > (I replied to a post here and asked a question about these nodes.)
