Abstract:
We herein report the case of a 48-year-old man diagnosed with nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL, Stage IA) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC, Stage I). Total thyroidectomy, left modified neck dissection and biopsy of the right cervical lymph node were performed. Postoperatively, NLPHL treatment was prioritized, and external radiation (30.6 Gy) was applied to the right neck. PTC was considered a high-risk category for recurrence due to extranodal invasion of lymph node metastasis, and radioactive iodine therapy (ablative dose, 1110 MBq) was administered. Both PTC and NLPHL showed no recurrence 18 months after surgery.

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...
