Enlarged lymph nodes are one of the early "signals" of lymphoma. Enlarged lymph nodes are mostly found in superficial parts of the body, such as below the ears, neck, armpits, groin, etc., especially those appearing in bunches are more typical. Those who have been diagnosed with lymph node tuberculosis, chronic lymphadenitis, the effect of regular anti-tuberculosis and anti-inflammatory treatment is not good or the condition is often repeated patients should be alert to lymphoma misdiagnosis.

In addition, continuous or repeated fever for two weeks should also be noted, because the typical symptoms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are fever, night sweats, cough, shortness of breath, itchy skin and other symptoms similar to colds, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis and mistreatment of lymphoma. Therefore, if you have fever, sweating, cough and other cold-like symptoms more than twice in a month, and the temperature of your body is more than 38℃ when you have fever, you should consider investigating lymphoma first.

The key points are: whether there are enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, groin, etc., chest CT, ultrasound to check the liver and spleen for enlargement or masses, and also check the blood routine.
