pericolonic lymph nodes

Summary

Pericolic lymph nodes are seen more frequently in patients with colonic cancer than in those with diverticulitis, and their detection should prompt additional evaluation. 1 Swollen lymph nodes are a sign that something is wrong in the body, and they are located in the head and neck region, armpits, and groin area. 2 Lymph nodes are small clusters of cells that filter lymphatic fluid and protect the body from invaders. 2 If infection is the cause of swollen lymph nodes and is not treated, an abscess may form, which requires drainage and antibiotic treatment. 2
