Incidental caseating granuloma of thyroid gland presenting with concomitant Graves′ disease and multifocal papillary microcarcinoma

Coexistence of tuberculosis and extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the thyroid gland: Case report and literature review

“…Several coexisting pathological conditions in the thyroid gland have been reported before, with the development of thyroid carcinoma in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis [ [13] , [14] , [15] ] and Graves' disease [ 16 , 17 ] being most frequently reported. Coexisting thyroid TB and papillary thyroid cancer have been reported rarely in the literature [ [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. However, based on our search of the literature, no cases of coexistence of primary thyroid TB and extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma have been reported so far.…”

“…Although the coexistence of malignant thyroid tumors and TB in the same organ in a patient is extremely rare, this coexistence has been reported in various organs. Although only six cases of thyroid TB and papillary thyroid cancer have been reported in the literature, no cases of coexistence of TB and MALToma have been reported so far [ [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. This study aimed to present a patient with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALToma) and Thyroid TB and describe the dilemma encountered in the diagnosis and management of this patient.…”
