Authors describe an abnormal case of a secondary thyroid gland damage caused by extramedullary plasmacytoma manifesting as a solitary thyroid gland nodule and hyperthyroidism. During chemotherapy treatment a remission of a primary disorder has been reached - multiple myeloma, total disappearance of the nodule, and normal thyroid function. The article proves the importance of an ultrasonic examination of the thyroid gland accompanied by a fine needle aspiration biopsy.

Keywords: extramedullary plasmacytoma; thyroid gland; fine needle aspiration biopsy
