Overview
The histological analysis in silent thyroiditis may show the infiltration of inflammatory cells, lymphoid follicles, and loss of the follicular integrity. Fine needle aspiration cytology helps to differentiate between the benign and malignant nodules.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Microscopic Pathology
Microscopic findings suggesting de Quervain's thyroiditis are as followings:[1]
- Lymphoid follicles
- Lymphocytic (T and B cells) infiltration
- Presence of giant cells
- Destruction of the follicular epithelium
- Loss of the follicular integrity
Fine needle aspiration cytology
Fine needle aspiration is usually done under ultrasound guidance and the sample is sent for cytology. It helps to differentiate benign thyroid nodules from the malignant lesions.[2]
