Lymphoma doesn't cause bumps to grow on the back of your head; it can cause swelling in the lymph glands, none of which are on the back of your head. Tumors tend to grow internally, not between the skin and skull. If you're concerned about a serious medical condition, consult a physician immediately. It sounds like you are describing a lipoma, not a lymphoma. Lipoma is a benign, fatty growth and can occur almost anywhere.

Can hodgkin's lymphoma be deadly?

Hodgkins Lymphoma can kill if it is undiagnosed or if left untreated. If properly treated, Hodgkins in Stage 1 or 2 has a 5 year survival rate of above 90-95%, giving essentially a "cure". Treatment is generally performed with 6 or more cycles of Chemotherapy (one cycle every 2 weeks) followed by three weeks of daily radiation treatments as a "clean-up" of any remaining cancer cells that remain in the internal "scar" from teh tumor. PET Scans show the extent of "high metabolic activity" cells, and are done periodically throughout treatment to show the progress of the treatments. CT Scans show the size and location of the tumors, and are taken progressively through treatment. Surgery to remove Hodgkins Lymphoma tumors is not generally performed. Long story short, untreated Hodgkins Lymphoma can kill.
