Lymphoma symptoms
1 year ago may 2022 my husband was diagnosed with mediastinal lymph node tb in Apollo hospital by ebus fnac.he compled 9 months of att course. He is now fine . But sometimes have occasional cough. Like 8 to 10 times per day. This gave me sometime little bit of tension. I'm alwas in fear if he is catching any serious decease or not ?
Nd the most fearful decease of all is cancer. So my question is, is tuberculosis sometime lead to lymphoma? If you have mediastinal lymph node lymphoma is cough will be the only symptoms?

Hi
Iam Thejeswar. Iam Medical and Hematooncologist. There is no evidence to support that tuberculosis causes lymphoma. Don’t worry. Need to see the FNAC report of TB. How was his response to ATT.

Tuberculosis is not having any direct causation proven to lymphoma. So no need to worry about that .
Obviously when a an FNAC was done in 2022 , they would have definitely checked for tumor cells in the slide . So consider that it not a lymphoma at that time .
Was any imaging done after completion of treatment , if the node still persist it may warrant further investigation.
Also would like to more in detail about any other symptoms other than cough he is having - like fever , night sweats, weight loss or any other symptoms . You could consult if you wish to have a discussion of this .
