Authors: CHARLES P. GRAHAM Jr. MD

Abstract

Lymphoma of the thyroid gland is usually seen as a rapidly enlarging goiter in older persons, and is associated frequently with dysphagia, hoarseness, and choking. There is infrequent vocal cord paralysis. Three patients with malignant lymphoma seen in a two-year period were hoarse without vocal cord paralysis. Two of them had biopsy-proven lymphoma from within the subglottic trachea.
