Symptoms of recurrence and metastasis of lymphoma

Malignant lymphoma, also known as "lymphoma", is a malignant tumor originating from lymph nodes or other lymphatic tissues. It is one of the ten most common malignant tumors in China. The disease is more common in middle-aged and young people, and male patients are more common than female patients. The disease can be divided into two categories according to its cell components: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Let's introduce the symptoms of lymphoma recurrence and metastasis.

Symptoms of lymphoma recurrence and metastasis

1) Symptoms of lymphoma recurrence and metastasis Gastrointestinal tract: Lymphoma lesions in extra-lymphatic lymphoid tissue are most common in the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for 13% to 25% in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and 2% in Hodgkin's disease. Clinical manifestations include loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension, intestinal obstruction and bleeding. The most common site of invasion is the small intestine, of which more than half are the ileum, followed by the stomach. The colon is rarely affected. Primary small intestinal tumors are most common in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with malabsorption syndrome or steatorrhea as the main clinical manifestations, and lesions often occur in the jejunum. Gastrointestinal lesions generally spread from the retroperitoneal lymph nodes through the mesenteric lymphatic vessels.

2) Symptoms of recurrence and metastasis of lymphoma Hepatobiliary: Invasion of the liver parenchyma may cause pain in the liver area. Jaundice may occur when diffuse infiltration or enlarged lymph nodes in the liver are detected by pressure on the common bile duct. About 15% of patients with Hodgkin's disease involving the liver have jaundice.

3) Symptoms of recurrence and metastasis of lymphoma: Bones: Clinical manifestations include local bone pain and secondary nerve compression detection symptoms.

4) Symptoms of lymphoma recurrence and metastasis Skin: Non-specific lesions commonly include pruritus and prurigo. Pruritus is more common in Hodgkin's disease (accounting for 85%) and may appear before other rashes. Severe sweat retention can also be seen occasionally.

5) Symptoms of recurrence and metastasis of lymphoma: When lymphoma of the tonsils, mouth, nose and pharynx invades the mouth and nasopharynx, clinical symptoms include dysphagia, nasal congestion and epistaxis.

6) Symptoms of recurrence and metastasis of lymphoma Other: Lymphoma can also infiltrate the pancreas and cause malabsorption syndrome. Mediastinal lymphoma can metastasize to the pericardium and cause local tumors. Infiltration of the breast, thyroid, lacrimal gland, bladder, testicles and ovaries, etc., causing corresponding symptoms is very rare.

Metastasis is a unique biological characteristic of malignant tumors and the leading cause of death in tumor patients, including lymphoma. Modern medicine has no unique means to control tumor metastasis except surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine, with its unique system of syndrome differentiation and treatment, has shown its advantages in controlling tumor metastasis and has been recognized and appreciated by the medical community.
