Abstract

Introduction:We present an extremely rare presentation case of simultaneous existence of anaplastic large T cell lymphoma along with papillary thyroid carcinoma in a previously healthy 26-year-old male.
Case Report: A previously healthy 26-year-old male presented with a history of fever, headache and subcutaneous nodules. Chemotherapy was initiated after histopathologic examination from one skin nodule revealed findings consistent with anaplastic large T cell lymphoma. A 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography scan (FDG-PET-CT) showed nodal involvement including the nasopharynx and extranodal involvement including disseminated skin involvement and a lung lesion A follow-up FDG-PET-CT which was performed five months after the initiation of treatment, showed resolution of all disease sites but a persistent pathological focal uptake at the right lobe of the thyroid gland. Ultrasound and a following fine needle aspiration revealed findings consistent with papillary carcinoma. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the thyroid.
Conclusion: This rare case illustrates the possibility of existence of concurrent diseases in patients with systemic
