Abstract: The patient inadvertently found the right anterior cervical mass for more than 6 months before hospitalization. Blood routine test, liver and kidney function, tumor markers and thyroid function were normal. Ultrasound showed irregular hypoechoic nodules of about 3.0 cm×1.6 cm in the inferior pole of the right lobe of the thyroid, and CDFI showed a little blood flow signal in the hypoechoic nodules. On plain and enhanced CT scan of the neck, the density of the thyroid decreased, the right lobe of the thyroid increased, the right lobe and isthmus showed slightly low-density nodular shadow, the arterial phase was moderately enhanced, the venous phase was moderately enhanced, the edge was irregular, and the thyroid capsule was complete; on thin-layer reconstruction, the right lobe of the thyroid showed slightly low-density nodular shadow. The right lobe of thyroid gland + isthmus resection and central lymphadenectomy were performed. Pathological diagnosis showed, nodule in the right lobe of thyroid gland:non Hodgkin's lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, origin of germinal center); right lobe 882 of thyroid gland + isthmus:Micro papillary carcinoma (about 0.6 cm in diameter). The patients recovered well after operation and received chemotherapy.

Key words: thyroid neoplasm, lymphoma, papillary carcinoma
