| الوصف: | Introduction: Primary thyroid lymphoma is defined as a lymphoma involving only the thyroid gland, or thyroid gland with regional lymph nodes without contiguity or metastasis to other areas at the time of diagnosis. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a known risk factor for the disease. It responds well to chemotherapy but since it is a rare clinical entity, the diagnosis is often missed, thereby subjecting the patient to extensive surgery. Case report: A 69 years old male presented with rapidly progressive swelling in front of neck for 10 days associated with dysphagia, odynophagia and dyspnoea. He had right lobe thyromegaly with multiple cervical lymphadenopathy with ultrasonographic risk stratification of TIRADS 5. Diagnosis was clinched by core biopsy report on immunohistochemistry as Diffuse Large B Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Positron emission tomography computerized scan revealed 18-fluorodeoxyglucose avid grossly enlarged thyroid lobes and isthmus with multiple bilateral cervical lymph nodes. Documenting the stage of disease as III E, he was managed with Chemo-immunotherapy consisting of RCVP regime with complete remission. Conclusion: Primary thyroid lymphoma with extra-thyroid involvement can be rapidly progressing and life threatening. However, timely investigation leads to correct diagnosis, appropriate curative medical management and can avoid unwarranted surgery. |
