Is Lymphoma Hereditary?
Hi, is Lympodema hereditary. My mother had it. Ive now developed unusual lumps in my arms, groin, and kidney area. Ive seen a consultant today who is organising surgery to have the lump in my arm removed and a biopsy done. He has also checked the lymph nodes in my armpit.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Many lymphomahas some hereditary causes. Not all lymphomas are hereditary. It is just one of the cause. Multiple causes play role in that.
You should go for biopsy of your lump. Go for histopathological examination. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
