What are the symptoms of lymphoma?

There are mainly the following aspects:

1. Local manifestations

1. Swollen lymph nodes: Superficial lymph nodes are more common in the neck, followed by the axilla and abdominal groove. The mediastinum and abdominal aorta are more common in the deep part. The symptoms of lymph node cancer include superficial and deep lymph nodes. Swollen lymph nodes are progressive, painless, hard, can promote, not adhere in the early stage, and can fuse in the late stage. Anti-inflammatory and anti-tuberculosis treatments are ineffective.

2. Local compression symptoms caused by swollen lymph nodes: For example, enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes 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 caused by deep lymph nodes in the symptoms of lymphoma.

3. Due to the different sites and ranges of invasion by lymphoma cells, clinical manifestations are very inconsistent. The primary site may be in the lymph nodes or outside the lymph nodes. Lymphoma is first discovered in the swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Lymphoma can occur in lymphatic tissues throughout the body, such as the chin, jaw, front neck, clavicle, axilla, mouse, mediastinum or abdominal artery, and sometimes occurs in organs causing compression symptoms; if it occurs in the stomach, small intestine or large intestine, peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal dysfunction such as abdominal distension, bloody stools, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. may occur; lymphoma invades the bone marrow, and pancytopenia such as pallor, fever, abnormal bleeding, etc. may occur, which sometimes appear in peripheral blood.

2. Systemic manifestations: mainly fever, weight loss, night sweats, etc.

Extranodal lesions

Lymphoma usually affects tissues and organs throughout the body. For example, liver and spleen infiltration causes liver swelling, gastrointestinal infiltration, lung pleural infiltration, bone infiltration, tonsil and oral and nasopharyngeal infiltration often causes abdominal pain, abdominal distension, intestinal obstruction, bleeding, cough, pleural effusion; bone pain, pathological fractures, dysphagia, nasal congestion, nasal twitching and other symptoms.
