A member asked:
Is there any lymph node behind the knee and if there is can it present lymphoma ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes there is: There is an area called Popliteal fossa where there is a lymph node or 2 normally present. Theoretically it can be affected by any disease of the lymph nodes including Lymphoma but I have never seen a case in that location....so it is rare but not impossible.
