    Summary

    Extranodal Hodgkin's disease presenting as a thyroid mass is rare. This case highlights the importance of considering this diagnosis in patients with persistent thyroid nodules unresponsive to standard treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Extranodal involvement in Hodgkin's disease is uncommon.
    • Thyroid gland presentation as a primary site for Hodgkin's disease is exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a progressively enlarging thyroid mass over one year.
    • Initial treatment with levothyroxine sodium suppressive therapy yielded no improvement.

    Findings:

    • Post-surgical clinical staging confirmed stage IIIA2 Hodgkin's disease.
    • The patient commenced combination chemotherapy following diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for thorough investigation of thyroid masses, even when seemingly benign.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment of rare presentations of Hodgkin's disease are crucial for patient outcomes.
