Pasieka] With the turn of the century, the role of the surgeon in the treatment of diseases such as Hashimoto's and thyroid lymphoma has diminished. That is not to say that the surgeon must not have a thorough understanding of these diseases and the role he or she plays in their diagnosis and treatment. Hashimoto's disease is a common disease. Not infrequently the endocrine surgeon is faced with a thyroid nodule in a background of Hashimoto's disease. Interpretation of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of a nodule in a patient with the background of Hashimoto's disease may be misleading if the surgeon fails to understand the limitations of FNA. The role of the surgeon in the treatment and diagnosis of thyroid lymphomas has evolved from surgical debulking to open biopsy. With the use of irradiation and chemotherapy, the need for surgical debulking has nearly disappeared. The recent development of ancillary techniques such as light chain restriction, flow cytometry, gene rearrangement, and immunohistochemical staining have enabled cytopathologists to diagnose thyroid lymphoma by FNA, further diminishing the surgeon's role in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
