Figure 1 Axial and coronal contrast-enhanced neck computed tomography images demonstrate a large ill-defined low-attenuation mass infiltrating the thyroid gland with associated significant airway narrowing.
Arrow indicates cervical adenopathy.
Figure 2 Histological and immunohistochemical photographs of left cervical lymph node.
A: Hematoxylin and eosin staining, 400 ×; B: Anti-CD20 staining, 400 ×; C: Anti-MUM-1 staining, 400 ×; D: Anti-ki-67 staining, 400 ×.
Figure 3 Post treatment computed tomography images of the neck demonstrating improvement in the airway narrowing and adenopathy (5 d after initiating therapy).
Figure 4 Axial positron emission tomography, computed tomography, and fusion images.
They performed 2 wk following initiation of therapy, demonstrating focal intense fluorodeoxyglucose uptake (SUVmax = 6.4) within an enlarged right hemi-thyroid demonstrating heterogeneous CT density, consistent with the biopsy-proven lymphomatous infiltration of the right hemi-thyroid. CT: Computed tomography; SUVmax: Standard uptake value maximum.
