This a fever: That is associated with hodgkin's lymphoma. It is described as a cyclical fever that will become more frequent over a period of days and then decrease in frequency just as fast. While experts argue whether this really exists, it is not a danger sign of anything else, rather just a symptom of the lymphoma. The fever is treated with anti inflammatories or with shrinkage of the tumor.
