We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma(NHL) with simultaneous involvement of both thyroid and bilateral adrenal glands. Literature review on a computerized search showed that this is an extremely rare condition. The final diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma was confirmed by biopsies of thyroid gland, enlarged cervical lymph node, and adrenal gland. The significant endocrine dysfunction of the thyroid, adrenal or other endocrine glands was absent in our case. The patient responded dramatically to three cycles of chemotherapy with no complication or endocrine dysfunction and continues to be followed.
我们报告一例非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)同时累及甲状腺和双侧肾上腺的病例。通过计算机检索进行的文献综述显示,这是一种极其罕见的情况。甲状腺、肿大的颈部淋巴结和肾上腺活检确诊为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤。我们的病例中未出现甲状腺、肾上腺或其他内分泌腺明显的内分泌功能障碍。该患者对三个周期的化疗反应显著,无并发症或内分泌功能障碍,目前仍在随访中。
