CT RESULTS FOR POSSIBLE LYMPHOMA
Hi
I have been to see my local GP about several symptoms: Excesive Fatigue, Severe night sweats, swollen stomach to name a few. My major concern is the night sweats as they are drenching. Originaly he put it down to Chronic Fatigue (have previously had EBV). After seeing him again about the night sweats he sent me for a CT to rule out Lymphoma. The results state: Anterolateral to the right lobe of the thyroid there is a hypodense structure measuring appx 3.5cms in its greatest diameter. Can anyone shed some light on what this would be as I don't see him for another week.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

My friend was recently told he has "benign lymphoma," after a ct scan. I cannot seem to find any info on this. What does it mean? Is it just a swollen gland? Next appointment with doc not for another month. I'm worried. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi.
The CT description does not sound malignant. Cancers of the thyroid, even lymphomas of the thyroid are generally hypervascular and will not appear as hypo but as hyperdense. Its likely a benign cyst.
Best to have yourself evaluated again by your doctor incorporating this finding.
Stay positive.
