1. Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating from the lymphatic hematopoietic system, which is mainly manifested by painless lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and all tissues and organs of the body may be affected, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, and itching. Pathologically, it is mainly lymphocytes, tissue cells, or reticular cells of varying degrees of differentiation. According to the natural course of NHL, it can be classified into three major clinical types, namely highly invasive, invasive, and indolent lymphomas. According to the different origins of lymphocytes, it can be divided into B cell, T cell, and NK cell lymphomas.

However, some types of lymphoma may be related to bacterial and viral infections. It is crucial to understand the early symptoms of lymphoma. You can search for pictures of early symptoms of lymphoma on the Internet or on special medical websites. The symptoms of lymphoma are mainly swollen lymph nodes that can be felt on the body. In the early stage, there is no pain or itching, so it is often ignored.

Lymphoma can occur in lymphatic tissues throughout the body, such as the chin, jaw, front neck, clavicle, armpit, groin, mediastinum or abdominal artery. Sometimes it occurs in internal organs and causes compression symptoms. If it occurs in the stomach, small intestine or large intestine, there may be abdominal distension, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, vomiting, blood in the stool and other digestive tract symptoms. If lymphoma invades the bone marrow, it may cause symptoms such as pale face, fever, abnormal bleeding, etc., and sometimes abnormal lymphocytes can be seen in the peripheral blood.
