The systemic symptoms of malignant lymphoma vary greatly depending on the type of disease and the stage of the disease. Some patients with malignant lymphoma may have no systemic symptoms. Fever, weight loss (weight loss of more than 10%), night sweats, etc. are more common in patients with symptoms, followed by loss of libido, fatigue, itching and other symptoms of malignant lymphoma. Systemic symptoms are related to the age of onset, tumor range, body immunity, etc. The main symptoms of malignant lymphoma are:

1. Fever

It is the most common symptom of malignant lymphoma. The fever pattern is often irregular, and can be continuous high fever or intermittent low fever. A few have periodic fever, which is seen in about 1/6 of Hodgkin's disease patients. About 30% to 50% of patients with early fever have Hodgkin's disease, but non-Hodgkin's lymphoma generally only has fever when the lesions are more extensive. Profuse sweating when the fever subsides can be a characteristic of this disease.

2. Skin itching

This is a more specific manifestation of Hodgkin's disease and is also a common symptom of malignant lymphoma. Focal itching occurs in the area of ​​lymphatic drainage of the lesion, and generalized itching mostly occurs in cases with lesions in the mediastinum or abdomen.

3. Alcohol pain

About 17% to 20% of patients with malignant lymphoma experience pain in the lesion 20 minutes after drinking. This symptom of malignant lymphoma may appear earlier than other symptoms and X-ray manifestations, and has a certain diagnostic significance. When the lesion is relieved, the alcohol pain disappears immediately, and reappears when it recurs. The mechanism of alcohol pain is unknown.
