2. Lymphangiosarcoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphangiosarcoma

   It was previously a relatively common complication of the massive lymphedema of the arm which followed removal of axillary (arm pit) lymph nodes and lymphatic channels as part of the classical Halstedian radical mastectomy, as a treatment for breast cancer. The classical radical mastectomy was abandoned in most areas of the world in the late ...

   Stage III: The lymphoma is on both sides of the diaphragm, [2] either in lymph nodes both above and below the diaphragm, or in lymph nodes above the diaphragm and in the spleen. [2] Stage IV: The lymphoma is in one or more organs beyond the lymphatic system, such as the liver, lungs, bone marrow, or cerebrospinal fluid. [2]

   [3] [13] [14] Diagnosis, if enlarged lymph nodes are present, is usually by lymph node biopsy. [1] [2] Blood, urine, and bone marrow testing may also be useful in the diagnosis. [2] Medical imaging may then be done to determine if and where the cancer has spread. [1] [2] Lymphoma most often spreads to the lungs, liver, and brain. [1] [2]

6. T-cell lymphoma - Wikipedia

   T-cell lymphoma which develops from the lymph nodes commonly causes symptoms as such swollen lymph nodes. [7] The swelling normally will not cause any pain and can be felt or seen as lumps on the surface of the skin. Nodal T-cell lymphoma subtypes such as peripheral T-cell lymphoma will often develop this symptom. [citation needed]

7. Lymphovascular invasion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphovascular_invasion

   Lymphovascular invasion, especially in carcinomas, usually precedes spread to the lymph nodes that drain the tissue in which the tumour arose. Conversely, cancers with lymph node spread (known as a lymph node metastases), usually have lymphovascular invasion. Lymph node metastases usually precede secondary tumours, i.e. distant metastases.
