We report a 60 years old male presenting with a history of repeating syncopal episodes lasting seven days. The patient had a history of an intestinal lymphoma treated four years ago. Imaging studies showed a macro nodule in the left thyroid lobe. The pathological study disclosed a type B non Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy with a favorable outcome. The association of syncope and cervical tumors has been described previously.
