Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma of Thyroid
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare malignancy and represents <5% of all thyroid malignancies, <3% of extranodal lymphomas and 1–3% of all malignant lymphomas [1,2]. This rare disease usually affects middle to older aged individuals with a female predilection, and presents with a rapidly enlarging anterior neck mass with or without cervical lymphadenopathy, often leading to compressive symptoms [2]. To diagnose it accurately and to differentiate it from other thyroid malignancies, along with Fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC), True cut needle biopsy and immunohistochemistry studies are very important, as primary thyroid lymphoma is highly curable with combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy, without thyroidectomy. We report a case of a 55years old female who presented with a thyroid swelling and was diagnosed with Primary Thyroid Lymphoma- Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma of Thyroid (DLBCL), after cytology and histopathology.
