Primary thyroid lymphomas are rare thyroid neoplasms. Mucosa Associated Lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma are the most common types. It is more common in the elderly, and especially in women. Patients usually present with a rapidly growing mass in the neck. This article aimed to present the epidemiological features, treatment and prognostic factors of thyroid lymphomas by retrospectively reviewing 4 patients with thyroid lymphoma. Four patients were treated for primary thyroid lymphoma, two of whom were women and two were men, with a mean age of 63.7 (51-74) years. Common complaint of those patients was the sudden swelling of the neck. Two patients were diagnosed with fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and the other two patients were diagnosed with surgical excision. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were applied to all four patients. While one patient died in the second year of follow-up, the other three patients are still being followed. Primary thyroid lymphomas are not aggressive tumors, and the most effective treatment is radiotherapy.
原发性甲状腺淋巴瘤是一种罕见的甲状腺肿瘤。黏膜相关淋巴组织（MALT）淋巴瘤和弥漫性大B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤是最常见的类型。它在老年人中更为常见，尤其是女性。患者通常表现为颈部迅速增大的肿块。本文旨在通过回顾性分析4例甲状腺淋巴瘤患者，介绍甲状腺淋巴瘤的流行病学特征、治疗方法和预后因素。4例患者接受了原发性甲状腺淋巴瘤治疗，其中2例为女性，2例为男性，平均年龄63.7岁（51 - 74岁）。这些患者的常见主诉是颈部突然肿胀。2例患者通过细针穿刺活检（FNAB）确诊，另外2例患者通过手术切除确诊。4例患者均接受了化疗和放疗。1例患者在随访的第二年死亡，其他3例患者仍在接受随访。原发性甲状腺淋巴瘤不是侵袭性肿瘤，最有效的治疗方法是放疗。
