In general, common symptoms of malignant lymphoma include:

① Lymph node enlargement: It is a common symptom of malignant lymphoma, including superficial and deep lymph nodes. Its characteristics are that the enlarged lymph nodes are progressive, painless, hard, and can be moved. In the early stage, they are not adhered to each other, but in the late stage, they can fuse. Anti-inflammatory and anti-tuberculosis treatment is ineffective. Superficial lymph nodes are more common in the neck, followed by the armpits and groin. Deep lymph nodes are more common in the mediastinum and beside the abdominal aorta.

② Local compression symptoms caused by swollen lymph nodes: mainly refers to deep lymph nodes, such as enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, which can compress the esophagus and cause dysphagia; compress the superior vena cava and cause superior vena cava syndrome; compress the trachea and cause coughing, chest tightness, dyspnea and cyanosis, which are common symptoms of malignant lymphoma.
