Abstract:
Primary lymphoma of the thyroid is a relatively rare malignant thyroid neoplasm. It is known to be frequently associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The clinical presentation includes an enlarging neck mass, accompanied by dysphagia, dyspnea or hoarseness, with its most common histologic type being the diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Recently, we experienced a case of a primary thyroid lymphoma associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in a 60-year-old woman, who presented with an anterior neck mass. We present this case with a review of the literature.
