  • Lymphoma can occur in any part of the body where lymphatic tissue is found, including the chest.
  • Hodgkin’s lymphoma is the most common type of lymphoma in the chest, followed by non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
  • Symptoms of lymphoma in the chest can include chest pain, cough, shortness of breath, and swelling of the face or neck.
  • Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as CT or PET-CT scans, as well as biopsy of the affected tissue.
  • Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of both, depending on the type and stage of the lymphoma and the patient’s overall health.
  • Surgery may also be necessary in some cases to remove affected lymph nodes or other tissue.
