Symptoms of Lymphoma

Lymphoma symptoms are sometimes very similar to that of other illnesses, so it may be difficult to diagnose initially. At times, early diagnosis may not be possible for this reason and because lymphoma may not present symptoms in the early stages.

Signs and Symptoms of Lymphoma

  • Swelling of a lymph node
  • Unintended weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Night sweats
  • Fevers
  • Feeling itchy without an apparent cause

Symptoms differ also depending on the type of lymphoma. Symptoms of non-Hodgkins lymphoma differ from Hodgkins lymphoma symptoms.
