What type of doctor specializes in lymphoma?

Hematologist: A hematologist specializes in lymphoma. Many hematologists have done training in oncology as well so they are hematologists/oncologists.

Oncologist: I placed my answer because a hematologist is an oncologist and vice-versa. They tend to know both cancer and blood problems.

Cancer specialist: Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphnodes. Doctors who are trained in internal medicine, can go on to specialize in treatment of cancer. This is the subspecialty of hematology/oncology. Larger cancer centers such as sloan-kettering in new york or M.D. Anderson in houston will have oncologists who focus their practice on lymphoma, the most well known of which is hodgkin's disease.
