Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Presenting as Thyroid and Adrenal Gland Involvement

摘要

References(31) Cited-By(1) We report an unusual case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving both the thyroid and adrenal glands. Malignant infiltration of the glands by B-cell immunoblastic type lymphoma were demonstrated by cytologic findings in needle biopsy. Staging studies showed minor nodal involvement. The patient was treated with combination chemotherapy. Simultaneous involvement of the thyroid and adrenal glands with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is very rare. In this report, while presenting this rare coexistance, we also want to emphasize that fine-needle aspiration biopsy was useful in the diagnosis.
