The definitive diagnosis of lymphoma can only be made with a biopsy and not a FNAC. FNAC can only create suspicion as in your mom's case. SO, the best way to go about it would be to undergo a biopsy from the offending lesion. This will confirm the diagnosis and also provide tissue for determining the type of lymphoma which is important for treatment. If it does come out as lymphoma then you will need to contact an oncologist at once to start treatment.
