Introduction:
Hodgkin's lymphoma rarely involves the thyroid gland. It is typically presented as a fast growing neck mass that is sometimes accompanied by respiratory compression symptoms.
Case Report:
We report one of the few (the seventeenth) case of primary and isolated Hodgkin's thyroid lymphoma presented by a 65 years old man, consulting for a fast growing neck mass with Hodgkin's symptoms. The patient had total thyroidectomy and short courses of chemotherapy, then total resolution of symptomatology.
Conclusion:
Most thyroid Hodgkin's lymphoma are presented by women, rarely man, isolated and primary. Since 1962, we only found sixteen cases described in the literature. Hodgkin's lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with a thyroid mass for rapid management.

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
