They both involve swollen lymph nodes, which can be hard and irregularly shaped.
Leukemia and lymphoma are both cancers starting with lymphoid cells (white blood cells), but in leukemia it is in the circulating blood and the bone marrow, and in lymphoma it is in the lymph nodes.
Lymphoma has two ages where it is most likely to occur: early adulthood, from 15 to 35 years of age, and in people over the age of 55.
Lymphoma symptoms:
Night sweats, enlarged lymph nodes (painless), fever, weight loss, itching, fatigue, red colored patches on skin, easy bruising and bleeding, spleen and/or liver enlargement
Leukemias: There are 4 categories: AML, CML, ALL, CLL.
the A's stand for "acute" and the C's are for "chronic"
ML = myelogenous leukemia
LL= lymphoblastic leukemia
ALL: peak incidence is at 4 years of age
AML, CML, CLL: usually in patients > 65 years of age
Leukemia symptoms:
Fever, weight loss, fatigue, infection, hard lymph node/s, kidney damage, bleeding/bruising, bone pain, enlarged spleen and or liver.
