Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the thyroid gland is a rare disease. In the present study, the survival rate and characteristics were retrospectively analyzed in 22 patients with stage IE and IIE thyroid NHL treated with radiotherapy with or without combination chemotherapy. Seventeen NHL had histological evidence of lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. The 5-year survival rate was 85% in all patients, with 100% and 63% respectively, for stage IE and stage IIE patients. The highly significant factor correlated with decreased determinate survival was concomitant stridor.
