Primary thyroid lymphoma is relatively rare, accounting for approximately 1–2% of all lymphomas, and it is often associated with thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The majority of the tumors consist of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). Localized aggressive lymphomas such as DLBCL are usually treated with immune/chemotherapy (R-CHOP) with or without radiation therapy. Doses of 30–40 Gy of involved site radiation therapy (ISRT) are recommended for localized aggressive lymphomas following combined immune/chemotherapy (R-CHOP). Localized indolent lymphomas such as MALT and follicular lymphomas are usually treated with radiation therapy alone following biopsy. A dose of 24–30 Gy of ISRT is recommended for indolent lymphomas. Other treatment modalities are performed in some cases. The histopathological subtype, stage, age, and treatment (radiation or surgery) have been suggested to be important prognostic factors. More disease-specific approaches using large cohorts are required to confirm the treatment strategies because the number of patients is limited.
