Hi,
This site is uncommon for lymphoma. Probably other diagnosis should be kept in mind first. Lymphoma generally evident by lymph node swelling. That particular site has no specific lymph node station. Anyway the duration , pain , relation with defaecation should also be mentioned. If it is a rapidly progressing mass then it will be better to go for a tissue diagnosis.
