Is there a relationship between lymphedema and lymphoma?

No: Only if the lymphedema was caused by enlarged lymph nodes blocking the lymphatic flow.

Only indirectly: As dr. Gold said, lymphoma doesn't cause lymphedema directly. It would only cause lymphedema if enlarged lymph nodes from the lymphoma blocked lymphatic flow.
