Abstract excerpt
We present a case of primary thyroid lymphoma coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in a 75-year-old woman in whom B-cell lymphoma was substantiated based on the findings of immunophenotyping and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) gene rearrangement in specimens that had been obtained by ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB).
