Symptoms of Hodgkin Lymphoma
People with HL may develop different symptoms, but the most common scenario at diagnosis is enlarged lymph node(s) and nothing else.

Lymph nodes may be enlarged in the neck, armpits, or groin, causing a painless lump, or within the chest.

Less commonly, those with HL may have weight loss, fever, itching, or drenching sweats at night, collectively called B symptoms.

A very rare but characteristic symptom of HL is pain associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Scientists do not know precisely why this occurs, but it may be due to expanding of the vessels within involved lymph nodes in response to the alcohol.
