French term

axe lombo-aortique

French to English Medical Medical (general) hospitalization report
Hi,
The patient just underwent a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis and these are the findings:
"rares ADP le long de l'axe lombo-aortique"
I know that "ADP" is "lymphadenopathy" but I am stumped with the translation of this axis.
Thanks
Joanna
