Thanks for writing to HCM,

Your findings may suggest small enlarged lymph nodes in para-aortic region of abdomen.
It may be due to many reasons like infection,inflammation,non specific etc.
You may need clinical correlation.
If you don't have any symptoms then it may be non specific and it may be ignored.
Follow up ultrasound abdomen may be advised after 8-9 months.

Get well soon.
