Overview
The histological analysis in de Quervain's thyroiditis may show the destruction of the follicular epithelium, loss of the follicular integrity, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. 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]
- Granuloma comprises of colloid, small lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages with or without epithelioid features
- Destruction of the follicular epithelium
- Loss of the follicular integrity
- Patchy distribution of non-caseous granulomas
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][3]
