A member asked:

Can itching on whole body be the only symptom of lymphoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Itching can be caused by many other conditions. Lymphomas cause swollen lymph nodes first, then anything else later. If the itching persists, you need a doctor to examine you and find out the cause.
