We present a case of an 89-year-old female who attended our surgical endocrine clinic with a 3-month history of a left-sided neck lump. There was no past medical history of thyroid disease.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Following examination and further investigation, including core biopsy, a diagnosis of plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid was made. Biochemical testing of thyroid function and Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody was in-keeping with an associated Hashimoto's thyroiditis.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The patient was treated conservatively with thyroxine and regularly seen in clinic. TSH levels improved and the lump showed signs of regression.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Plasma cell granuloma of the thyroid is rare with only 16 previously reported cases. We present a new approach to management without the use of surgery or steroids. The literature is reviewed comparing clinico-pathological features and management of other reported cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4061\/2010\/840469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,7]],"date-time":"2010-02-07T15:30:21Z","timestamp":1265556621000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Plasma Cell Granuloma of the Thyroid: A Conservative Approach to a Rare Condition and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2010","author":[{"given":"W.
