Retroperitoneal adenopathy can lead to various symptoms depending on the underlying cause and the extent of lymph node involvement. Common symptoms may include abdominal or flank pain, swelling or a palpable mass in the abdomen, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea or changes in bowel habits. Additionally, if the lymph nodes compress surrounding structures, it could result in urinary issues or lower extremity edema. Systemic symptoms like fever, weight loss, and night sweats may also occur, especially if associated with malignancy or infection.
