Lymph node biopsy: A part of or an entire lymph node Is removed from the suspected area to look for lymphoma cells and their type.

Imaging tests: Imaging tests such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emissions tomography (PET) scan helps to check for abnormally enlarged lymph nodes and to produce detailed images of the suspected organs and soft tissue.
