According to the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, malignant lymphoma, also known as lymphoma, is one of the cancer is on the rise in recent years. In recent years, this is a malignant blood disease that can be effectively treated with a high rate of remission and prolong survival if the patient complies with treatment.
Lymphocytes have present in the lymphatic system a component of the body’s infection-fighting network. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow. Lymphomas can also affect these areas like affecting other organs in the body. There are many types cancer lymph nodes but there are two main types: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Symptoms of lymphoma
– Up to 60% of patients have enlarged and painless lymph nodes. Lymph nodes usually appear in the neck of the supraclavicular fossa, axillary inguinal area, and may encounter mediastinal lymph nodes and abdominal lymph nodes.
– Primary extranodal lesions account for about 40%, meaning the tumor first appears outside the lymph nodes. lymph nodes such as: stomach tonsils eye sockets skin...
– Spleen is often enlarged grade I/II.
– Hepatomegaly is less common and is often accompanied by lymphadenopathy and/or splenomegaly .
– About < 25% of cases have “B” symptoms, also known as triad B, including: Fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss of more than 10% of body weight in 6 months Cause.
– Anemia may be due to lymph node invasion of bone marrow, autoimmune hemolysis, hypersplenism or, more rarely, hemophagocytosis.
– Stage Late stages often show signs of invasive compression of lymphoid tissue. For example: mediastinal paralysis syndrome due to spinal cord compression protrusion of intestinal obstruction if gastrointestinal tumor…
Differentiates from some other lymphadenopathy phenomena</ p>
The lymph nodes in lymphoma patients can be distinguished from the following cases:
Reactive lymph nodes are mostly enlarged and often painful lymph nodes near the lesion. Enlarged lymph nodes develop acutely but are benign and return to normal after recovery from the main disease (For example, enlarged submandibular lymph nodes due to sore throat…).
Tubercular lymph nodes are often found along the sternocleidomastoid muscle, creating into painless chains that often break if prolonged and the bean residue flows out. Lymphadenograms and lymph node biopsies often show lesions including: Langerhans giant semi-interstitial cells, caseous necrosis.
Metastatic cancer nodes: Lymph nodes and lymph node biopsies often show lesions. Cancer cells: large size, smooth nucleus, often with many large protoplasmic nuclei, sometimes with secretory cavities, often standing in clusters. In most cases, the primary cancer organ can be detected.
