What are the possible symptoms of having lymphoma?

  Enlarged lymph nodes, or localized lumps in lymph nodes, are the most common symptoms of lymphoma, and such enlarged lymph nodes, or localized lumps in lymph nodes, are painless and gradually increase in size. Lymphoma can occur in any part of the body, among which lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, and bone marrow are the most likely to occur. In addition, different tissues and organs where lymphoma occurs, i.e., different locations, and the extent and degree of compression or invasion by enlarged lymph nodes, cause different symptoms.  When the following abnormalities occur, you should be alert and go to the hospital promptly: 1. Lymph nodes in the neck or supraclavicular area, or lymph nodes in the armpit gradually swell and do not feel pain (except for painful lymph nodes after drinking alcohol).  2.Pharyngeal lymphoma: difficulty in swallowing, nasal congestion, nasal bleeding, and enlarged lymph nodes under the jaw.  3.Lymphoma of the chest: cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath, etc.  4.Lymphoma of gastrointestinal tract: abdominal pain, diarrhea, and feeling of lump in the abdomen.  5.Systemic symptoms: fever with no cause found, night sweats, emaciation, and itching.  What common symptoms should be considered in the diagnosis of lymphoma?  Lymphoma is divided into Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma according to medical pathology.  I. What are the common symptoms of Hodgkin’s lymphoma?  1.Most often seen in young people.  2.The first symptom often seen is swollen lymph nodes in the neck or supraclavicular area, but no pain is felt (60% to 80% of cases).  3.The second most common symptom is the presence of swollen axillary lymph nodes.  4. Other patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (30% to 50%) have persistent or periodic fever of unknown origin as the main starting symptom.  What are the common symptoms of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma?  1. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can be seen in people of all ages, but there are more male patients than female patients, and more elderly patients than young patients.  Most non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas also have painless enlargement of the neck or supraclavicular lymph nodes as the first manifestation. However, unlike Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the lymph nodes of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are enlarged in a jumpy and irregular manner, and all lymph nodes may be enlarged, and tissues or organs without lymphatic tissue may be easily invaded.  3. If there is persistent fever or periodic fever of unknown cause and no improvement or further aggravation after anti-inflammatory or anti-tuberculosis treatment, it is highly suspected at this time.
