What’s the deal with tests that don’t rule out lymphoma?

The examination shows that the possibility of lymphoma is not excluded means that the results of imaging, biopsy histopathology and other examinations consider the possibility of lymphoma, but it is not yet possible to make a definite diagnosis.
1. Lymphoma should be considered when the patient presents with enlarged lymph nodes (painless progressive enlargement), enlarged spleen, or abnormal body mass (gastrointestinal mass, ovarian mass, etc.) without obvious reasons. Imaging examination, such as CT scanning or CT enhancement, may be considered as a possibility of lymphoma, but the lack of pathological diagnosis does not lead to a definite diagnosis.
2. The gold standard for the diagnosis of lymphoma is lymph node biopsy and pathological examination or mass pathological examination, and these patients need to undergo lymph node biopsy or pathological examination after resection of the lesion before a definite diagnosis can be made. If the diagnosis of lymphoma is confirmed, immunohistochemistry is still needed to clarify the subtype.
Patients should consult the hematology department in a timely manner for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to assess the severity and stage of the disease, so as to evaluate the prognosis and formulate an individualized treatment plan by specialists.
