Abstract
A case of primary lymphoma of the thyroid gland, associated with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is presented. The lymphoma was characterized by rapid progression and dissemination into the gastrointestinal tract. The cytological finding (by fine needle aspiration biopsy) was suspect malignant and the exact diagnosis was provided by pathohistological examination of the tissue, obtained by surgical extirpation of the thyroid. The essential clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics of the tumor are pointed to, with a review of references.
