Primary thyroid lymphoma is rare and accounts for less than 5% of all thyroid malignancy. The clinical presentation includes a rapidly enlarging neck mass, associated with dysphagia, dyspnea or hoarseness. The most common histologic type is diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common type of thyroid malignancy. Co-occurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma and primary thyroid lymphoma is very rare. Recently, we experienced a case with co-occurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma and primary thyroid lymphoma in a 79-year-old woman, who had tuberculous lymphadenitis presented as lateral neck mass. We present this case with a review of the literature.

Schwannoma is a benign tumor of Schwann cell origin and may occur on any nerve covered by Schwann cells. Although approximately 25% to 48% of all Schwannoma occur in the head and neck region, the lesions originating from the cervical vagus nerve are extremely rare. We have recently experienced a case of huge Schwannoma arising from the cervical vagus nerve which was initially misdiagnosed as a huge goiter. We report herein the case with review of the literatures.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon spindle cell neoplasm that is usually presented as a pleural origin localized tumor. There are few cases, found in thyroid. Twenty six cases found in thyroid have been reported since 1993, and two of these were malignant. We report another malignant case in this study; a 55 years old man visited out-patient clinic due to palpable mass of anterior neck, and pathologically diagnosed as malignant SFT of thyroid after surgical resection. In this study, we focus on the clinical features of this uncommon disease along with other literature reviews.

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is main subtype of primary thyroid lymphoma and can be histologically transformed from a low-grade B-cell lymphoma. The characteristics and treatment guidelines of these particular DLBCL have not been fully established. The mainstay of treatment of primary thyroid DLBCL is multimodality treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Meanwhile, surgery can be considered only for diagnosis or alleviation of airway compressive symptoms. A 57-year-old female visited our outpatient clinic for recently enlarged long-held anterior neck mass. A thyroid mass compressing the airway and esophagus was identified on imaging, which was diagnosed as MALT lymphoma by excisional biopsy. After staging, the patient underwent total thyroidectomy with regional lymph node dissection for treatment of stage IIE MALT lymphoma and relieving airway compromise symptoms. The final diagnosis was DLBCL transformed from MALT Lymphoma, and chemotherapy was additionally performed. We report this rare experience with a review of literature.
