Question: In layman terms pet scan dignosis..?
slightly enlarged supraclavicular /posterior lymph node and moderately hypermetabolic non enlarged right scalene nodes of indeterminate significance
Answers:
You have a swollen lymph node near the collarbone (probably of no significance), and nearby are lymph nodes of normal size that show accelerated cell metabolism (cells growing faster than normal). Cells that a growing faster than normal could be cancer, so the next logical step might be to get a sample of the lymph fluid and see if the cells are cancerous.
