Peptic Ulcer - Swollen Lymph Nodes

[samipili]

Hi - is it possible to for a peptic or duodenal ulcer to cause swollen lymph nodes in the back ? I don't have swollen lymph nodes anywhere else and am a healthy 50-year old. My CBC just came back totally normal.

Thanks for any help !

It is really not usual that gastric or duodenal ulcer would result in swollen nodes.

- gastric cancer or limphoma or other abdominal cancer
- leukemia
- autoimune gastritis or pancreatitis
- other (?)

Do you have ulcus? Are you loosing weight, have nausea? Do you fel like meat smells?

The enlarged lymph nodes were discovered in an abdominal  CT scan.  They are not painful and I don't know if they're fixed or hard.  I was told that they were about 1.5" when they should be only 0.5".

In the back? Where exactly - is it fixed, painful, hard?
