The retroperitoneum is the area in the back of the abdominal cavity where a membrane lines the walls of that huge space and covers most of the organs within it. Important organs that are found in this area include the kidneys, pancreas, adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys, the duodenum which is the first part of the small intestine, the abdominal aorta and the inferior vena cava. There are lymph nodes there as well and nerve roots.
While both HL and NHL are far more common in adults, especially in those who are older than 50, it is important to emphasise that its rarity in children should not lure any parent into a false sense of security. In the last one month, one has seen three children aged between 10 and 14 years, stricken with the disease. Not one of them was presented at less than six months from the onset of the illness.
When this disease is diagnosed early, there will be more treatment options available to the managing doctors. Some of the features we have mentioned above will be fairly obvious and would lead to a speedy diagnosis. Others are more cunning in their presentation and all the affected child may have is a swelling attached to the front wall of the armpit, or a swelling in the neck just above the collar bone.
