<human>: Hi I recently went to the ER for lower right side pain/pressure, fells like someone is pushing in on my lower right side. Ct scan shows retroperitaneal nodes and enlarged spleen with thick loop SB. Blood work normal. What would you think it could be. ER doc mentioned lymphoma?
<bot>: HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor There are different possible causes for enlargement of the spleen such as: (1) infections(2)blood disorders such as leukemia, lymphoma, platelet disorders(3)tumors and cysts in the spleen(4)autoimmune disease(5)liver disease can lead to enlarged spleen(6)heart failureYour doctor would likely consider further testing including blood tests. The treatment would depend on the findings. I hope this helps
