Description
Summary:•Hodgkin’s lymphoma rarely involves the thyroid gland.•We report a case of primary and isolated Hodgkin’s thyroid lymphoma. Hodgkin’s lymphoma rarely involves the thyroid gland. It is typically presented as a fast growing neck mass that is sometimes accompanied by respiratory compression symptoms. We report one of the few (the seventeenth) case of primary and isolated Hodgkin’s thyroid lymphoma presented by a 65 years old man, consulting for a fast growing neck mass with Hodgkin’s symptoms. The patient had total thyroidectomy and short courses of chemotherapy, then total resolution of symptomatology. Most thyroid Hodgkin’s lymphoma are presented by women, rarely man, isolated and primary. Since 1962, we only found sixteen cases described in the literature. Hodgkin’s lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with a thyroid mass for rapid management.
