Yes, T-cell lymphoma can cause swelling, particularly of lymph nodes throughout the body including in the head, neck, armpits, and groin. This swelling (lymphadenopathy) is a common symptom of the condition. Shortness of breath can occur when lymphoma forms masses in the chest area or when fluid builds up around the lungs (pleural effusion). Some people may also experience chest pain or pressure along with breathing difficulties. If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
