Perihepatic lymph node enlargement observed at a general health examination: A cross‐sectional study

Although perihepatic lymph node enlargement (PLNE) is known as a common finding in chronic liver disease, it can be found occasionally at a general health examination. We aimed to clarify the clinical significance of PLNE in general.
