I recently had a whole body ct scan because of several months of thoracic back pain. The scan was normal except for some enlarged lymph nodes in my abdomen, near the bowel. I've been told my case has gone to a gynaecology mdt meeting because I had a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed 7 years ago. I'm really confused because my ovarian tumour was not malignant. After googling I found primary peritoneal cancer and I'm now worried that's what they are thinking about. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but can enlarged lymph nodes on ct be the first/only sign of cancer? Are enlarged nodes in the abdomen ever something non- sinister?
