Thyroid lymphoma is classified as either primary thyroid lymphoma or secondary thyroid lymphoma. Primary thyroid lymphoma affects the thyroid gland first, then spreads to the lymph nodes and other organs later. Secondary thyroid lymphoma affects lymph nodes and other organs first, then spreads to the thyroid later. Primary thyroid lymphomas are rare and further classified based on the underlying lymphoma subtype. These lymphomas are very sensitive to chemotherapy and radiation, which makes timely diagnosis a very crucial step. Timely diagnosis would enable instituting the appropriate local and systemic therapy early on with good outcomes. This activity reviews the etiology, presentation, evaluation, and management of primary thyroid lymphoma and the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing the condition.
