The first sign that you may have AIDS-related lymphoma is swelling. This is typically caused by lymphoma of the chest, which causes shortness of breath and coughing. If it affects the spleen or lymph nodes, you might also experience abdominal swelling. Tumors in the brain or spinal cord can cause partial paralysis or confusion. Diagnosis of this disease usually begins with a physical examination. Your healthcare provider will ask you about your medical history and order blood tests to check for HIV infection.
AIDS-related lymphoma can affect other organs and tissues, including the tonsils (small masses of lymph tissue located at the back of the throat). The lymphatic system also includes the spleen, thymus, tonsils, and the digestive tract. Some people may also have cancers of the bone marrow, anus, and liver. Although the majority of AIDS-related patients will display symptoms of spleen, anus, and tonsils, the disease can also involve the liver, biliary tract, or brain.
The main symptoms of AIDS-related lymphoma can include night sweats and diarrhea. Some people will experience fever, night sweats, and abdominal pain. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor immediately. The first step in treatment is to determine whether or not you have AIDS-related lymphoma. A lymphoma biopsy may show that you are suffering from primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma.
Some AIDS-related lymphoma symptoms can be hard to identify. Some people may experience fever and swollen glands, but this is not a sign of a serious illness. If you experience any of these signs, it’s time to see a doctor right away. The first step in treatment is to stop using IV drugs. Taking antiretroviral therapy can reduce the risk of developing lymphoma.
A lymphoma can be detected by lymphocytes in the blood. The cancer may be found in the tonsils or spleen. In some cases, the disease may spread to the bones. If a patient’s cancer has spread to the brain, it may spread to the lungs and the bone marrow. A biopsy will confirm whether the cancer is in the bones or the central nervous system.
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should visit your doctor. Usually, a biopsy will be required to diagnose AIDS-Related Lymphomoma. During the course of your treatment, you may need to undergo multiple tests to confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor may also want to do some bloodwork to determine whether there is any bleeding or if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Some AIDS-Related Lymphomomas may present with variable symptoms. Some patients may have chronic lymphadenopathy, organomegaly, and constitutional B symptoms. Other patients may experience drenching night sweats or have unexplained fevers. Most AIDS-Related Cystic Lymphoma can be detected in its early stages.
AIDS-Related Lymphomoma is an aggressive form of lymphoma that can affect the organs and tissues of the body. The lymphatic system includes the tonsils and spleen, and the spleen, thymus, thyroid gland, and bile. The disease can also affect the brain, the lining of the chest, the abdomen, and the sac containing the heart.
