A member asked:
What is the major symptom of lymphoma? i want to have a biopsy done but there is no swollen node so does that matters.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many, varied: Lymphomas can present either with Prolonged fever(>100 degrees) or enlarged lymph nodes somewhere in the body including in places like Chest and Abdomen where it is difficult to feel a growth unless it becomes very large. In the absence of these two features, I would seriously doubt the presence of a Lymphoma.
