We report an unusual case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving both the
thyroid and adrenal glands. Malignant infiltration of the glands by B
-ceII immunoblastic type lymphoma were demonstrated by cytologic findi
ngs in needle biopsy. Staging studies showed minor nodal involvement.
The patient was treated with combination chemotherapy. Simultaneous in
volvement of the thyroid and adrenal glands with non-Hodgkin's lymphom
a is very rare. In this report, while presenting this rare coexistance
, we also want to emphasize that fine-needle aspiration biopsy was use
ful in the diagnosis.
