Yes, sometimes, if the person doing the rectal knows how to feel them |

Can they be seen with an anoscope?
Can lymphoma end up or start in the rectal lymph node? |

No, they are outside the rectum |

Lymphoma can start anywhere, but i thought you were talking about rectal
cancer |

Where do you mean "outside"? If they are outside, how can you tell with
a digital test?
To make a long story short for about a year I have had a swollen place
about an inch and a half inside the anal opeing. I explained it to the
doctor, he looked with an anoscope but could not see anything.
It flares up sometimes when I have hemroids or a tear and goes back
down again. Kind of feels like a bean. It is hard.
I have been having recurrent feversl for a year and a half. I am being
checked for lymphoma Monday with a Gallium scan. I am so scared!
Could this be a swollen lymph node? It feels like the bump is under the
rectal skin/mucosa. There is no bleeding and about 6 months before
noticing the lump I had a colonoscopy which was normal. The lump
appeared rather quickly I think after some sore hemroid flare ups. |

Can you feel a shoe under a towel?

Why on earth would someone order a gallium scan? You don't make a diagnosis
of lymphoma by doing a gallium scan.

More likely to be a haemorrhoid |

Is a gallium scan not called for? What do they do to look for lymphoma? |
