Doctors are warning that varicose veins could be a commonly missed sign of cancers like lymphoma. A 53-year-old woman in China was diagnosed with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma after experiencing worsening varicose veins and a fever. Vague symptoms like these can make lymphoma, which affects nearly 90,000 Americans every year, more difficult to diagnose. Varicose veins are twisted, swollen veins that can occur in any vein close to the skin's surface, usually in the legs. Weak or damaged heart valves can lead to varicose veins, and in the case of lymphoma, the cancer attacking small blood vessels could weaken them. Symptoms of lymphoma include fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, stomach pain, rashes, itchy skin, and bloating. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
