PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Lymphoma, though primarily a neoplasm of leukocytes, can involve extranodal, nonlymphoid tissue including the thyroid. When the thyroid is involved by widely disseminated lymphoma, the surgeon is rarely involved. This chapter, therefore, focuses on primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) confined to the thyroid and its regional lymph nodes. Although PTL occurs rarely, familiarity with this disease will benefit the surgeon who may encounter it in the course of the workup of a thyroid mass and may be called upon to aid in its diagnosis and management.
