What are the signs of lymphoma?

Varies.: Some patients, especially with hodgkin lymphoma may present with fevers, night sweats and/or weight loss, but most lymphoma patients do not have these "b" symptoms. Painless lymph node swelling is the most common finding, but many lymphoma patients may have no symptoms at all.

B symptoms: Symptoms can include fever, night-sweats and weight loss for both non-hodgkin's lymphoma and hodgkin's disease. These are referred to as b symptoms and they are used in the staging of lymphoma. Thus a stage iii lymphoma with b symptoms would be given a stage iiib status. Other symptoms are related to pressure from the tumor causing pain, or fatigue.
