A rapidly growing goitre was initially diagnosed as chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. Further investigation revealed it was a primary thyroid lymphoma, successfully treated with radiotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis can present with goitre, a thyroid gland enlargement.
  • Levothyroxine is a standard treatment for hypothyroidism associated with autoimmune thyroiditis.
  • Airway obstruction is a potential complication of rapidly enlarging neck masses.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing goitre.
  • Despite levothyroxine treatment for presumed autoimmune thyroiditis, progressive airway obstruction developed.
  • Biopsy was crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The goitre was diagnosed as a primary thyroid lymphoma, not solely autoimmune thyroiditis.
  • Thyroid lymphoma can mimic benign thyroid conditions.

  • Radiotherapy proved effective in treating the thyroid lymphoma.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering malignancy in rapidly growing goitres, even with initial benign diagnoses.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for effective management of thyroid lymphoma.
    • Multidisciplinary approaches involving endocrinology, pathology, and oncology are essential for complex thyroid cases.
