Abstract

Synchronous double primary malignancies of lymphoma and thyroid cancer are rare. In this retrospective study, we investigated the pathology, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes of patients with synchronous lymphoma and thyroid cancer.Of the 1156 newly diagnosed lymphoma patients treated in our hospital between January 1, 2016 and February 1, 2021, 8 cases had lymphoma complicated with thyroid cancer. The clinical data and treatment strategies of 8 cases with synchronous lymphoma and thyroid cancer were retrospectively analyzed.The median age of patients was 56 (25-64) years. All the 8 patients were female and papillary thyroid cancer. Only 1 patient had peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and the other 7 were B-cell lymphoma. Seven of 8 patients had normal free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine at the time of diagnosis. Seven thyroid cancer patients received total thyroidectomy and levothyroxine and the remaining 1 patient has a plan for surgery. At the last follow-up, 7 patients with B-cell lymphoma are alive; the patient with peripheral T-cell lymphoma complicated with thyroid cancer died due to lymphoma progression.Synchronous lymphoma and thyroid cancer are more predominant in women. Histologically, B-cell lymphomas and papillary thyroid cancer subtypes are more common. Attention should be paid to the presence of thyroid nodules in the diagnosis of lymphoma. Biopsy or ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of the suspicious thyroid nodule should be performed to exclude thyroid malignancy.
