Abstract
|
|
|
Primary lymphoma of the thyroid gland is relatively rare disease. Its
incidence varies in different series from 1% to 5% of all thyroid
malignancies. Most primary thyroid lymphoma are of non-Hodgkin’s type, have
a B-cell phenotype, and arise in a background of autoimmune thyroiditis in
about 80% of cases. A 69-year old woman presented with anterior neck
swelling. Ultrasonography and computed tomography demonstrated a
heterogenous soft tissue mass in both thyroid lobes and lymphadenopathy.
Total thyroidectomy with lymph node dissection was performed.
Histopathological findings demonstrated high-grade mucosa-associated
lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type lymphoma with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Radiation
therapy was performed. We report a case of primary thyroid lymphoma with
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
