A member asked:
Are lymph glands big with lymphoma?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Lymphoma, cancer of the white blood cells, dose cause the lymph glands to enlarge, but there are also many other things which can lead to enlarged lymph nodes.

Maybe: Enlarged lymph nodes (lns) may be associated with lymphoma, but the differential diagnosis (other causes) includes infection, inflammation, etc. Likewise, lymphoma often causes enlarged lns but not always. I have a recent patient with normal sized lns that are pet+ ("active") but with lymphoma in bone marrow. Lns may not be palpable and "hidden" inside body as well.
