Need to know what this means.
C - Loop with 15 mm enlarged lymph node adjacent to GE junction.

Scheduled for a EGD and EUS.

There's no way for anyone to really know - including your doctor - before all the test results are in and all those results are put together to form a conclusion. By itself, all is means is the size is bigger than what would be considered strictly normal. But what the possible enlargement is due to shouldn't be assumed.

Thanks for the reply. Is having a 15mm lymph node a bad thing?

I believe it may refer to a portion of the duodenum which is 'divided' into 4 sections when it is described. The portion of the duodenum adjacent to the 'end of the stomach', the pylorus, and 2 other sections form a curve, or a "C" loop. A portion of that "C" can be found close to the esophagus. .
