Pancreatic lymph node
My mother was losing weight rapidly, doctor suggested ultrasound, it showed peripancreatic lymph node enlargement. CT scan with contrast was done but it did not show any abnormality. Doctor prescribed medicines for pancreatitis. After one month there is now no weight loss and appetite improved but ultrasound still showing lymph node enlargement has not reduced. Please suggest what could be problem.
