- Abstract
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune thyroid disease characterized by a gradual enlargement
of the thyroid gland, extensive lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis of thyroid follicles. Hashimoto's
thyroiditis occurs frequently in conjunction with a wide range of organ-specific and systemic
autoimmune diseases. The association of chronic lymphocytic leukemia with other autoimmune diseases
also has been recognized. Here, we report a case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia diagnosed by abrupt
painful swelling of the thyroid gland in a 69-year-old woman with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The painful
enlargement of goiter and elevated levels of antibodies to thyroglobulin were improved after
chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, vicristine and prednisolone.(Korean J Med 70:101-106, 2006)
