Different clinical manifestations: besides local lymph node enlargement, lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer is mainly characterized by local breast abnormalities, such as breast lumps, cellulite sign and so on, while systemic symptoms are not obvious. Lymphoma mainly manifests as painless lymph node enlargement, hepatosplenomegaly, and all tissues and organs of the body can be involved, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever, emaciation and itching. 3.
