Involvement of the bilateral submandibular glands and thyroid by the same lymphoma simultaneously has been reported in the literature. However, two different types of lymphomas presenting simultaneously at different sites have never been reported. This case report highlights this rare occurrence. A 65‐year‐old female, a known case of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with raised anti‐TPO antibodies, presented with thyroid swelling for 1 year and bilateral submandibular swelling for 3 years. FNAC and flow cytometry showed features of mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in the thyroid gland, whereas the bilateral submandibular glands showed features of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry from the submandibular swelling led to similar diagnoses as the flow cytometry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
