AB Lymphoma,  though  primarily  a  neoplasm  of  leukocytes,  can  involve  extranodal,  nonlymphoid  tissue  including  the  thyroid.  When  the  thyroid  is  involved  by  widely  disseminated  lymphoma,  the  surgeon  is  rarely  involved.  This  chapter,  therefore,  focuses  on  primary  thyroid  lymphoma  (PTL)  confined  to  the  thyroid  and  its  regional  lymph  nodes.  Although  PTL  occurs  rarely,  familiarity  with  this  disease  will  benefit  the  surgeon  who  may  encounter  it  in  the  course  of  the  workup  of  a  thyroid  mass  and  may  be  called  upon  to  aid  in  its  diagnosis  and  management.
