Abstract
- Malignant lymphoma of the thyroid gland is extremely rare and its relatedness to Hashimoto's thyroiditis is well documented. Thyroid lymphoma frequently compromises the upper aerodigestive tract and should be differenciated from the anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Also, thyroid lymphoma is known to often recur in the gastrointestinal tract. Recently we have experienced a case of B cell immunoblastic type, non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma of the thyroid gland in a 61 year-old male patient. The case presented a rapidly growing mass with dyspnea at the anterior neck, and an open biopsy with tracheostomy was carried out. The patient received a combination chemotherapy and a partial remission was observed.
