ABSTRACT
Prompt diagnosis of lymphoma facilitates early treatment and improves outcomes for patients. For non-haemato-oncologists, it is important to have an understanding of how lymphoma can present and the initial work-up. This review is intended to provide clinicians with background to aid clinical decisional making at presentation and when managing treatment related complications. There will be particular emphasis on emergency presentations (tumour lysis syndrome, management of patients with a mediastinal mass, infections in lymphoma patients) and novel treatment options which have unique toxicities often requiring multi-specialty expertise.
