What are the symptoms and causes of malignant lymphoma

What are the symptoms of malignant lymphoma and what are the causes?

Malignant lymphoma is a very heterogeneous tumor. Although it is common in lymph nodes, due to the distribution of the lymphatic system, lymphoma is a systemic disease that can invade almost any tissue and organ in the body. The clinical manifestations of malignant lymphoma not only have certain common characteristics, but also vary greatly according to different pathological types, sites of invasion and extent.

Symptoms of malignant lymphoma include:

1. Surface lymphadenopathy is an early sign of painless, progressive swelling of surface lymph nodes. It is mainly cervical, axillary or groin lymphadenopathy, with cervical lymphadenopathy accounting for 60-80%, axillary lymphadenopathy accounting for 6-20%, and groin lymphadenopathy accounting for 6-10%.

2. Early symptoms of systemic discomfort are accompanied by superficial lymphadenopathy, low-grade fever and fatigue.

3. Hodgkin's disease Lymphoreticular cell sarcoma often presents with irregular fever as an early symptom, accompanied by superficial lymphadenopathy. There is a type of lymphatic malignancy that is soft and painless in the early stages and should be taken seriously.

4. Itching is often a unique sign of Jekin's disease. Itching may be localized or generalized, and generalized itching often occurs in mediastinal or abdominal lesions.

5. Skin lesions. Patients with malignant lymphoma may have a series of nonspecific skin manifestations, including polymorphic skin lesions, erythema, blisters, erosions, etc. Patients with advanced malignant lymphoma have low immune status, and skin infections often rupture and ooze, forming scattered skin thickening and dandruff throughout the body.
