title: [Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the thyroid gland. Morphologic and immunohistochemical findings in 2 cases].
abstract: Described in this paper are two cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) of the thyroid gland in women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. NHL may be misinterpreted for its histological similarity to anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. The immunoperoxidase technique can be used with good success to confirm the lymphocytic origin of tumor cells.
