Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a very rare type of thyroid malignant tumor. PTL coexisting with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is even scarcer and can be easily overlooked. We present our experience of the diagnosis and treatment of a 37-year-old woman with primary thyroid diffuse large B cell lymphoma complicated with PTC. We also considered this case in the context of previous reports. The results indicated that the incidence of concurrent Hashimoto’s disease varied among patients with different lymphoma subtypes, with the highest incidence in patients with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Furthermore, thyroid cancer and thus the combination of PTL and PTC were more common in women.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of all thyroid carcinomas and accounts for up to 90% of all thyroid malignancies. It is the most indolent form of the disease and has an excellent prognosis. On the other hand, Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare entity accounting for only about 1% to 5% of all thyroid malignancies and only 2% of extranodal lymphomas. Synchronous PTC and PTL is a very rare condition and only a few cases have been reported in the literature up till now. We report one such case in a 52-year-old lady who was referred to us with goiter and progressively increasing difficulty in breathing.

Zusammenfassung. Maligne Lymphome unterteilen sich zwar in über 60 Entitäten, das grosszellige B-Zell-Lymphom, das follikuläre Lymphom, der Hodgkin und das Mantelzell-Lymphom machen aber mehr als die Hälfte aller Lymphome aus. Im revidierten Ann Arbor staging system gelten die Suffixe «A» und «B» nur noch für den Hodgkin. «E» erscheint nur noch bei Stadien I und II. Eine Knochenmarksuntersuchung wird beim Hodgkin nicht mehr verlangt, beim DLBCL (Diffuse large B cell lymphoma) nur, falls das PET keinen Knochenmark-Befall zeigt. Der PET-Untersuchung, speziell dem Interim-PET, kommt eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu. PET-gesteuerte Therapien führen zu weniger Toxizität. Gezielt wirkende Medikamente mit eindrücklicher Wirksamkeit wurden neu zugelassen. Deren Kosten sind hoch. Eine strahlen- und chemotherapiefreie Behandlung maligner Lymphome wird in Zukunft möglich sein.
