title: Lymphoma arising from Hashimoto's thyroiditis: an unusual cause of acute stridor.
abstract: We report an unusual presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the thyroid which mimicked an acute infective thyroiditis and was associated with acute stridor and dysphagia. The mode of presentation and diagnosis of thyroid lymphoma are discussed and the value of early fine needle aspiration emphasised.
