Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma is a rare and recently discovered variant of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It usually occurs in the sixth decade of life, with a predominance of females and may be observed in sites such as the digestive tract, lung, kidney, liver, skin, and only in 2% of cases, in the thyroid gland, where in many occasions it is associated with Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis. Its evolution is favorable when it is diagnosed in the initial stages of the disease. We present a 22-year-old female patient with a history of perceptible endocrine disorders since adolescence, who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, underlying mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and who evolved satisfactorily after surgical treatment.

Keywords : lymphoma, non-Hodgkin; hematologic neoplasms; Hashimoto disease.
