Summary
This study reports a rare case of coexisting papillary thyroid carcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in a patient who underwent surgery without prior biopsy. Both conditions were successfully treated with surgery, showing no recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Endocrinology
Background:
- Primary thyroid mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma.
- The coexistence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and MALT lymphoma is exceptionally uncommon.
- Limited literature exists on thyroid MALT lymphomas due to their low prevalence.
