- Abstract:
- Primary lymphomas located in the thyroid gland are rare clinical findings. The therapy and the subsequent monitoring of the disease continue to be a subject of debate. We present the case of a 63-year-old female patient in whom a hemi-thyroidectomy was performed because of a growing goiter. Histological examination of the excised tissue revealed a large-cell B-lymphocytic lymphoma which extended to neighboring lymph nodes. The patient received chemotherapy which led to remission of disease for two years. The disease re-occurred in the remaining thyroid lobe. Subsequently, the patient was treated with involved-field radiation therapy which lead to long term remission. We conclude that total thyroidectomy should be considered in the treatment of lymphomas located in the thyroid gland.
