Hi thanks for asking question.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is congenital condition in which there are more chances of thrombosis of vessel.

Meanwhile you have lymphoma also.so lymphatic blockage can present.so fluid can't drain from lymphatic vessel .so edema can occur....

Consult surgeon for DVT for treatment..try compression stockings and leg elevation daily.Anticoagulant can be taken...

If suspicion of metastasis CT scan can be done...

Take care...
