Abstract
Two cases of malignant lymphoma are reported and the clinical features of a further 6 cases collected over a 10-year period are presented. The literature is reviewed and the treatment, prognosis and relationship to Hashimoto's disease are discussed. It is suggested that lymph node biopsy at the time of operation is important in confirming the diagnosis and that the prognosis may be more hopeful than has previously been suggested.
