Need Assistance Interpreting An Ultrasound Report: Ultrasound Right And Left
Question: Need assistance interpreting an ultrasound report:
Ultrasound right and left lower extremity
Indication for examination: Palpable soft tissue masses right and left
inguinal region.
Ultrasound examination of the right and left lower extremity is
performed with transverse and longitudinal images, with attention to
the right and left inguinal region as directed by the patient.
There are multiple, mildly prominent bilateral inguinal lymph nodes.
Single largest of these on the left side measures 2.6 cm, single
largest on the right side measures 1.9 cm in length. These are
morphologically normal in appearance. These cannot be characterized
further and clinical follow-up is recommended.
Fat and fascial planes are otherwise intact. No other sonographic
abnormality identified.
CONCLUSION:
Multiple bilateral inguinal lymph nodes as described. Largest on the
right measures 1.9 cm in length, largest on the left measures 2.6 cm in
length. These are morphologically normal in appearance and cannot be
characterized further sonographically.
No other focal findings..

Hi there,
35 year old male, skin above the lymph nodes is unremarkable to my eye. For context, the 2.6 cm node referred to in the report is enlarged and non-tender and was noticed perhaps 2 or 3 months ago. It is moveable and not hard. I have had bladder pain for approximately 1.5 years with no diagnosis and all urinalyses have been negative for blood or any signs of infection. Bacterial culture was also negative. No history of biopsy of any of these nodes. General practitioner didn't seem especially concerned and referred me for the ultrasound out of an abundance of caution, but I have not been able to consult with him about the results yet.
I'm wondering if anything in that report is suggestive suggestive of lymphoma or cancer of a lymph node, as I'm not sure what to make of the statement that the nodes cannot be further characterized and clinical follow up is needed.

Brief Answer:
As discussed
Detailed Answer:
Great.
Thanks for your additional interaction.
Ultrasonography and for that sake, CT scan or even MRI have their limitations in diagnosis as the images created by these machines are studied and reported as per the findings.
With this reference it is specifically mentioned in the report that the images of Ultrasound are showing no variation morphologically like changes in the center or so.
Hence unable to comment upon the possible cause of enlargement of inguinal lymph nodes.
In all such cases only FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology and still better the excision biopsy of lymph nodes alone can tell us the accurate diagnosis.
I would advise you to get FNAC and Biopsy done asap and get the correct diagnosis as the nodes are noted for 2-3 months.
I hope this answers your query and helps you in getting an earliest and accurate diagnosis which is the basis of proper management.
Please give feedback once FNAC and biopsy are done.
