Yes, T-cell lymphoma can cause swelling, particularly of the lymph nodes throughout the body including in the head, neck, armpits, and groin. This swelling is called lymphadenopathy. Shortness of breath can occur when lymphoma forms masses in the chest area. This may happen due to:
- Pressure from tumors in the chest
- Fluid buildup around the lungs (pleural effusion)
- Fluid buildup around the heart (pericardial effusion)

These conditions can make breathing difficult and may also cause chest pain or pressure.
