Introduction:
Thyroid lymphoma can be divided in two categories; primary (PTL) and secondary thyroid lymphoma (STL). STL is a part of a widespread neoplasia while PTL only involves ,at diagnosis, the thyroid gland or the thyroid gland and local neck lymph nodes without contiguity or metastasis in other organs (1). PTL is a malignant transformation of normal lymphocytes in a normally non-lymphoid tissue (the thyroid).
It’s a rare condition that only represents 5% of thyroid malignancies and 2.5% of lymphomas.
Here, we report the case of a 65-year-old female with rapidly developing thyroid mass who represent the first thyroid lymphoma diagnosed in our department.
