What Could Tumors On Temple Area During Hogdkins Lymphoma Suggest?
I have a tumor on both temple areas which are increasing in size over the last 6 months. I am being treated for Follicular Non Hogdkins Lymphoma and i am told these are Lymp nodes incresing? My question is that I had a hit on my temples while sailing at the same locations as the tumors now. Would that of caused the growth or is it Cancer related? The core Biopsy showed cancer in the tumor.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If biopsy is showing cancer cells then it is cancerous growth only.
Biopsy and histopathological examination is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of cancer in any swelling or growth.
So the swellings on temples are cancerous growth as biopsy is showing cancer cells.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
