Papillary thyroid carcinoma revealing a synchronous Hodgkin's lymphoma: a case report

Abstract
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common and most indolent form of all thyroid malignancies. The synchronous occurrence of PTC and lymphoma is extremely rare, which poses a significant management challenge for both diagnosis and treatment.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 56-year-old female patient with no medical history, particularly irradiation, in whom anatomopathological examination revealed both PTC and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy, total thyroidectomy and received 100 mCi of radioactive 131 iodine (RAI). The patient was declared free of the disease and has been in remission for a year and a half after completion of treatment.

Conclusion: The simultaneous occurrence of lymphoma and DTC is a challenge for both diagnosis and treatment. The importance of a lymphoma-first approach was highlighted with promising results. Molecular mechanisms of this link and the common risk factors of these two tumors are poorly understood and yet remain to be elucidated to further clarify this association.

Key words: Papillary thyroid carcinoma ; synchronous ; Hodgkin’s lymphoma ; chemotherapy, radioiodine therapy ; 18F-FDG PET-CT.
