Abstract
Abstract Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized by the presence of Reed–Sternberg cells. The majority of cases originate at nodal sites and only rarely does it occur in extranodal locations. Here we report a case of a woman with a classical Hodgkin's lymphoma of the thyroid developed from a Hashimoto thyroiditis. She presented with a mass in her thyroid which was surgically removed. Biopsy showed a nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. Our results were similar to previously reported cases. It would appear that the lesions grew over a MALT tissue created by the lymphoid proliferation of the thyroiditis. Differential diagnosis was made between the different types of lymphomas considering those most commonly occurring in extranodal lymphoid tissues. A final diagnosis was reached after consideration of the histopathology, immunophenotyping and molecular biology.
