Are you sure the vet said "lymphoma cells" or did they say "lymphocyte cells"? Big difference. Lymphocytes are just cells that the lymph nodes produce to fight infections. They would be expected at the site of any infection and are not a cause for concern. They do indicate that there is an infection in the area, but that is all. You already know that there is infection in the ear, and it could be just an extension of that infection.

Like I always say, don't worry about things that have not happened yet.....save worries for things you know. It will be a long 72 hours, but try to focus on the pup for now.

Good luck.
