340417 -    There is significant interval decrease in the size of the
340418 -    previously-seen two lymph nodes in the neck.  The left
340419 -    posterolateral retrosternocleidomastoid node now measures 4 mm vs.
340420 -    13 mm previously.  Left scalene node measures 4 mm vs 14 mm
340421 -    previously.  There are no new enlarged lymph nodes.
340423 -  ..
340424 - The report dated 040410 shown in the record on 040416 seems to
340425 - identify a 13 mm node in the neck, ref SDS 6 7U4O, but there does not
340426 - seem to be mention of a 14 mm node in the neck, as discussed in this
340427 - report today for the test on 040710.  There is discussion in the
340428 - report dated 040410 of a 14 mm node and a 15 mm node in the chest.

340435 -    ae grossly normal. The parotid, submandibular and thyroid glands
340436 -    are normal.  There is no mediastinal or hilar adenopathy.  The
340437 -    largest lymph node in the left axilla measures 8 mm vs 18 mm
340438 -    previously.  The largest lymph node in the right axilla measures 9
340439 -    mm vs 18 mm previously.  There are no new lymph nodes in the axilla
340440 -    bilaterally.
340442 -  ..
340443 - The report dated 040410 shown in the record on 040416 seems to
340444 - identify multiple axillary lymph nodes, the largest on the right
340445 - measuring 15 x 9 mm and the largest on the left measuring 14 x 10 mm.
340446 - There is nothing evident in this part of the report that says 18 mm.
340447 - ref SDS 6 7V3R  There is another part of the report on 040410 that
340448 - says 18 mm nodes in both axili, unchanged from prior study, post op
340449 - changes are seen on the left. ref SDS 6 EH47  There is nothing in the
340450 - report on 040410 nor in the report that reconciles the two parts of
340451 - the report on 040416 that discuss axillary lymph nodes, and nodes in
340452 - both axili.
340454 -  ..
340455 - There seem to be at least two lymph nodes lost in the record, similar
340456 - to the problem discussed on 031205, ref SDS 4 2F4I, adding to the
340457 - weight of lesson learned reported on 040517. ref SDS 8 RZ5O

340467 -    nodule in the right middle lobe just anterior to the major fissure
340468 -    (image #37), unchanged.  There are no other pulmonary nodules.
340469 -    Heart size is normal.  There is no pericardial or pleural
340470 -    effusion.  Scans of the upper abdomen demonstrate normal adrenal
340471 -    glands.  No abormalities are seen of the visualized portions of

340473 -    or fluid in the uppoer abdomen.

340476 - Why doesn't the report say there is a cyst that is "unchanged" or
340477 - "stable" from prior tests, as set out in tests dated 040410 received
