Abstract:
Eight elderly women with primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation with excellent outcome. Clinically, the patients presented with thyromegaly and did not have lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly. On histological examination, the lymphomas resembled diffuse follicle-centre cell tumours. All patients showed extension beyond the thyroid capsule and lympho-epithelial lesions; 3 displayed kappa-light-chain restriction and 2 lambda-monoclonality. Thyroid lymphomas fall into the spectrum of mucosa-associated lymphomas, which have a better prognosis than their equivalent nodal-based counterparts.
