Case Report: Primary Thyroid Lymphoma Presenting as A Rapidly Enlarging Thyroid Mass
نویسنده
چکیده
Primary thyroid lymphomas (PTL) are very rare and account for only 2.5% to 5% of all thyroid malignancies and 1-2% of all extra-nodal malignancies [1]. PTL is more prevalent in females in the sixth to seventh decade of life [2]. The presentation of PTL can be puzzling. PLT may be mistaken for anaplastic thyroid cancer. Immunochemistry is an important part of pathologic differentiation of these two entities.
