Abstract
Primary thyroid lymphoma accounts for 5% of all the malignancies of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is very rare and unusual site for lymphoma, only few cases have been described in the literature. It is associated with chronic inflammatory lesions such as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. We report a rare case of Marginal Zone lymphoma in a 44 year old male patient presented with complaint of swelling in the right side of neck since 3 months. The definitive diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry.
