Abstract

Malignant lymphoma of the thyroid gland is a reletively rare and constitute up to 1-5% of all thyroid malignancies. It is known to be frequently associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The clinical presentation includes an enlarging neck mass, accompanied by dysphagia, hoarseness or tenderness, with its most common histologic type being the diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have experienced a case of thyroid lymphoma arising from Hasimoto's thyroiditis in a 57-year-old woman, who presented with an anterior neck mass. We present this case with a review of the literature.
