Malignant lymphoma of the thyroid

Marie T Cox 1
PMCID: PMC480840  PMID: 14227426

Abstract

Nine cases of malignant lymphoma of the thyroid are described; the clinical features and histological patterns are recorded and the latter related to results of serological tests for thyroid antibodies. The value of such tests in clinical assessment is discussed. The distribution of metastases and their predilection for the gastrointestinal tract is noted.
