What are the common symptoms of lymphoma?

What are the common symptoms of lymphoma? I believe many people have this question. Due to the different invasion sites and ranges of lymphoma cells, the clinical manifestations are very inconsistent. The primary site can be in the lymph nodes or in the lymphatic tissue outside the lymph nodes. Let's take a look at the symptoms of lymphoma .

1. Local manifestations. (1) Lymph node enlargement: 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 treatments are ineffective. Superficial lymph nodes are more common in the neck, followed by the armpits and abdominal groove. Deep lymph nodes are more common in the mediastinum and beside the abdominal aorta. (2) Lymph node enlargement causes local compression symptoms: 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 to cause superior vena cava syndrome; compress the trachea to cause coughing, chest tightness, dyspnea and cyanosis. The above are all common symptoms of lymphoma.

2. Systemic symptoms. (1) Fever: The fever pattern is often irregular, usually between 38-39°C. Some patients may have a continuous high fever, or intermittent low fever, and a few may have periodic fever. (2) Weight loss: Most patients experience weight loss, losing more than 10% of their original body weight within 6 months. (3) Night sweats: Sweating at night or after falling asleep.

3. Extranodal lesions. Lymphoma can invade all tissues and organs of the body. For example, infiltration of the liver and spleen causes hepatomegaly; infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract causes abdominal pain, bloating, intestinal obstruction and bleeding; infiltration of the lungs and pleura causes cough and pleural effusion; infiltration of bones causes bone pain and pathological fractures; infiltration of the skin causes itching and subcutaneous nodules; infiltration of the tonsils and mouth, nose and pharynx causes dysphagia, nasal congestion and nasal tingling; infiltration of the nervous system causes spinal cord compression and cranial neuropathy, etc. Once a patient has the above symptoms and signs, he should go to the hospital for examination to determine whether he has lymphoma. This is also a symptom of lymphoma.
