A case of primary lymphocytic lymphoma of the thyroid is presented occurring in a 19‐year‐old woman. The young age of this patient, as well as the possibility of thymic radiation therapy as an infant, being a predisposing factor makes this case unique. The association with Hashimoto's thyroiditis has been previously reported.
