The most common symptom of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm (axilla), or groin.

Other symptoms may include the following:

• Unexplained fever

• Constant fatigue
• Itchy skin
• Reddened patches on the skin

Such symptoms are non-specific and may be caused by other, less serious conditions.
