A member asked:

Would a negative ana rule out lymphoma? does lymphoma cause a positive ana test result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It does not: At your age, if you have lymphoma it's probably Hodgkin's. ANA really has nothing to do with malignant lymphoma. If you're worried about big lymph nodest, trust me -- lymphoma nodes are obviously very abnormal. Best wishes, and I hope you'll always stay actively involved with your health.
