Isolated abdominal lymphadenopathy is not such a common but a real diagnostic problem. Widespread prevalence of ultrasonography in routine diagnostics has been contributed to its greater recognition. In the first part of the article examinations which lead to the diagnosis (such as: microbiological examination, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, lymphography, histopathological examination) are discussed basing on the literature. The potential etiology of abdominal lymphadenopathy is described in the second part of the article. The characteristic changes are discussed for mentioned disease entities.
