What are the differences between lymphoma and lymphoma

Lymphoma is a tumor that originates from the lymphatic hematopoietic system. Lymphoma is divided into benign and malignant. If the lymphoma is malignant, we call it lymphoma cancer. Lymphoma cancer is very harmful to the human body. It threatens human life. The clinical symptoms of benign lymphoma and lymphoma are somewhat similar, so some people cannot distinguish them. If a benign lymphoma is misdiagnosed as lymphoma, the best treatment time may be missed, thus endangering the patient's life. So what are the differences between lymphoma cancer and lymphoma?

The clinical symptoms of benign lymphoma and lymphoma are different. Both benign lymphoma and lymphoma will have painless lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and all tissues and organs in the body may be affected, accompanied by fever, night sweats, weight loss, itching and other clinical symptoms. Compared with benign lymphoma, lymphoma has more symptoms. Lymphoma patients will have symptoms of other organs. Lymphoma patients will have anemia. In addition, lymphoma patients will also have non-specific skin manifestations, such as erythema, blisters, erosions, etc. Skin infections in patients with advanced malignant lymphoma often ulcerate and exude for a long time, forming systemic scattered skin thickening and desquamation.
The harmfulness of benign lymphoma and lymphoma is different. Benign lymphoma is relatively less harmful and not fatal. Benign lymphoma can be removed by surgery. Lymphoma is a malignant tumor that threatens human life and is extremely harmful. Lymphoma needs to be controlled by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
In summary, there is a big difference between benign lymphoma and lymphoma. If similar symptoms occur and the patient cannot judge by himself, he needs to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. The benign and malignant nature of lymphoma can be determined by blood routine and blood smear, bone marrow smear and biopsy, blood biochemistry, cerebrospinal fluid examination and other testing methods. Whether it is benign or malignant lymphoma, it needs timely treatment.
