Abstract
Rare case of MALT lymphoma in Graves’ disease with preoperative diagnosis through the use of ultrasound (US), Fine-Needle Aspiration Citology (FNAC) and Core-Needle Biopsy (CNB). US showed solid hypoechoic nodule in hyperfunctioning goiter. FNAC diagnosed autoimmune chronic thyroiditis (Bethesda II), and then US-guided CNB resulted in a diagnosis of Lymphoproliferative Parenchymal Disorder (LPD). Immunohistochemistry was the clue for diagnosis of MALT lymphoma. CNB should be used as method of choice for differential diagnosis of thyroid LPDs.
