Lymphoma

A lymphoma is a cancer type which can cause enlargement of lymph nodes so in a way this statement is true as the nodes will enlarge. The lymphoma however is basically a blood malignancy and affects the lymphocyte (a type of white cells). It can therefore produce effects in many different areas of the body of which the lymphatic system ( more specifically the lymph nodes) is only one manifestation.

There are many other things which can have an effect on the lymphatic system including infection, metastases from other malignant tumours, various systemic diseases etc etc etc
