Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am suspicious of lymphoma. In the summer, I had an itchy rash on my neck, it went away, came back, and now went again. I have bilateral hip and bone pain. I have night sweats two to three times weekly. I had a low-grade fever right before my period and will go away. No palpable or noticeable lymph nodes except in thigh about an inch away from the groin. I have had CBC’s and sedimentation rates completed at least five times in two months. I took a chest X-ray, head and abdomen CT scan, and pelvic ultrasound. I consulted an ENT who looked down the throat with a scope, and everything is negative, so doctors will not pursue lymphoma any further. Do you think with everything so far, should I still be investigating lymphoma? I am currently on Lisinopril 20 mg.
Hello,
Welcome to the icliniq.com.
1. In lymphoma, there is a presence of multiple enlarged lymph nodes.
2. If you have lymphoma, then enlarged node could have been detected in CT (computed tomography) scan.
3. If you do not have multiple enlarged nodes then lymphoma is less likely.
4. The fever and itchy rash are not classical signs of lymphoma.
5. For itchy rash, Levocetirizine can be prescribed.
I hope this helps.
