What are the symptoms of lymphoma?

Patients with lymphoma develop fever first. When lymphoma B develops to the advanced stage, the symptomatic fever type is generally irregular. Some patients will continue to have high fever, some patients will have intermittent low fever, and some patients will have periodic fever. Periodic fever patients are common in 1 / 6 of Hodgkin's disease patients, and the proportion of patients with early fever in Hodgkin's disease is 30% ~ 50%, Patients usually have fever when the disease is extensive.

Lymphoma B patients also have skin itching symptoms. This is a specific symptom of lymphoma B. Focal pruritus usually occurs in the location of lesions and lymphatic drainage. Systemic pruritus in patients with lymphoma B usually occurs in the large mediastinum and abdominal lesions.

Patients with lymphoma B also have alcohol pain. About 17% ~ 20% of lymphoma B patients will have local pain 20 minutes after drinking alcohol. This symptom will appear earlier than other symptoms and X-ray findings. After the lesion is relieved, the alcohol pain will gradually disappear, and the pain will aggravate when the disease relapses.
