Abstract
Thyroid lymphoma represents less than 1% of malignant thyroid tumors and it s diagnosis is difficult. We report a 25 years old woman, admitted with the diagnosis of diffuse euthyroid goiter and thyroid cancer. She was subjecte d to a subtotal thyroidectomy and the pathological study of the surgical pi ece showed a Hodgkin lymphoma, subtype nodular sclerosis. The patients was treated with three cycles of chemotherapy, using cyclophosphamide, vincrist ine, procarbazine, prednisone, doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastin and radio therapy. She refused to continue treatment after the third cycle and after 3 years and 5 months of follow up, is well and free of disease.
