Abstract

A patient presenting with hyperthyroidism had a rapidly enlarging thyroid mass that histopathologically was a diffuse histiocytic lymphoma arising in a gland with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The concurrent development of both hyperthyroidism and lymphoma may have resulted from similar immunologic abnormalities. Appreciation of the relationship between thyroid lymphoma and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and their presentation with either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism should lead to an earlier diagnosis of lymphoma and improved survival.

摘要

一名患有甲状腺功能亢进症的患者甲状腺肿块迅速增大，组织病理学检查显示为弥漫性组织细胞淋巴瘤，该淋巴瘤发生于患有桥本甲状腺炎的腺体。甲状腺功能亢进症和淋巴瘤的同时发生可能是由相似的免疫异常所致。认识到甲状腺淋巴瘤与桥本甲状腺炎之间的关系，以及它们表现为甲状腺功能减退或亢进，应能更早诊断淋巴瘤并提高生存率。
