Co-occurrence of Papillary and Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma in a Patient with Hodgkin’s Disease
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Hematology - Year 2013, Vol 30, Issue 2
Abstract
To the Editor, Hodgkin’s disease (HD) is a lymphoproliferative neoplasm primarily of B cell origin. The annual incidence of HD is estimated to be 1-3 cases per 100,000 people in the world [1]. Developments in multi-agent chemotherapy regimens in HD have increased the survival rates signifi cantly.However, these patients have begun to encounter late therapy toxicities, such as secondary solid and hematologic tumors, infertility, and pulmonary and cardiac events, which lead to delayed mortality. Second solid tumors may develop long after the fi rst HD diagnosis. However, synchronous tumors in HD occur rarely. In addition, synchronous thyroid malignancies in HD are extremely rare. To our knowledge, up to the present only a few cases of synchronous HD and thyroid malignancies have been reported. We present a HD patient who demonstrated 2 different kinds of thyroid cancer in the early period.
