title: [Ultrasonography in primary malignant lymphoma of the thyroid].
abstract: We analyzed retrospectively the sonographic appearance of eight cases of primary malignant lymphoma of the thyroid. Sonography showed hypoechoic masses replacing thyroid parenchyma with posterior acoustic enhancement. A hypoechoic and/or nearly anechoic confluent nodular appearance characterized malignant lymphoma of the thyroid.
