Central nervous system tumors

Symptoms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma vary from person to person. They may include:

Painless enlargement of the lymph nodes in the neck, groin, or armpit

Have a fever

Night sweat

fatigued

Unexplained weight loss

Severe pruritus

Red spots on the skin

Nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain

Cough or shortness of breath

Headaches, loss of concentration, personality changes

Symptoms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma also often vary depending on the type of disease. Low-grade (inert) non-Hodgkin lymphoma develops slowly. Patients may have painless enlarged lymph nodes (usually in the neck or collarbone) but appear otherwise healthy. The swelling may go away for a while and then return. If low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma spreads outside the lymph nodes, discomfort may occur.

Aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma grows faster and tends to have more symptoms than low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Symptoms may include:

Pain in the neck, arms or abdomen

Fever and/or night sweats

Unexplained weight loss

fatigued

Shortness of breath

Weakness in the arms and/or legs

disarray

These symptoms don't always mean you have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, it is important to discuss any symptoms with your doctor, as they may also be a sign of other health problems.
