Abstract
Primary lymphomas of the thyroid are uncommon tumours, constituting approximately 5% of all thyroid tumours, and less than 3% extranodal lymphomas. Typically, the disease presents and diagnosed with pressure symptoms caused by a rapidly growing mass. A biopsy is necessary to diagnose thyroid lymphoma. High grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma are the most common forms of primary lymphomas of the thyroid. Accurate diagnosis is very important as these tumours require a different treatment compared to other thyroid malignancies. In this case report, the aim was to present a patient diagnosed with primary thyroid lymphoma.
