Abstract

Rapidly expanding thyroid lesions with tracheal invasion are typical characteristics of anaplastic and high-grade thyroid carcinomas. However, primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) must also be considered as a differential. We present a rare case of PTL with direct invasion and compression of the trachea resulting in pulmonary oedema and cardiomyopathy.
