Abstract

A case of a 49-year male patient with centroblastic lymphoma of the thyroid gland is presented. Centroblastic lymphoma was diagnosed with cytological and immunocytochemical examination of the biopsy specimen, and verified with histological examination of tumor section collector intraoperationally. Diagnosed tumor was classified as II AE degree. No signs of lymphocytic thyroiditis co-existing with centroblastic lymphoma were noted. The patient was treated chemically with CBVPM/AVBP regimens for 8 months. Complete remission still lasting, i.e. 96 months after completion of chemotherapy, was achieved.
