Thyroid ultrasound and fine needleaspiration cytology and immunohistochemistry, remainthe main modalities used to confirm the presence oflymphoma. The majority of thyroid lymphomas arediffuse large cell of B-cell origin. The prognosis isgenerally excellent but can be varied because of theheterogeneous nature of thyroid lymphomas.
