Brief Answer:
May be lymphoma if pathologist feels

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for your query.

I understand your concern. You have provided very little info. Any mass in the abdomen, especially if it is new and causing symptoms, has to viewed with suspicion. As in his case biopsy has been done and pathologist is suspicious of lymphoma, it is certainly a possibility.

If you can provide some more details, I may be able to guide you better. But one thing I can assure you that lymphomas are mostly curable with treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer further followup queries.
