Overview
Other diagnostic studies for Riedel's thyroiditis include pathological analysis, which demonstrates inflammatory cells infiltration, fibrosis with hyalinization, and extension of fibrosis outside the capsule, and immunohistochemical analysis, which demonstrates the predominance of T lymphocytes, strong positive stain to thyroglobulin, the presence of CD8+, CD4+ and plasma cells.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Other diagnostic studies for Riedel's thyroiditis include pathological and immunohistochemical analysis.
Gross pathology
Gross pathology findings include:
- Pale thyroid mass
- No discernable tissue planes
Microscopic pathology
Microscopic pathology findings include:[1][2][3][4]
- Inflammatory cells infiltration
- Absence of giant cells, lymphoid follicles, or granulomas
- Fibrosis with hyalinization
- Extension of fibrosis outside the capsule
- Infiltration of plasma cells and lymphocytes in venular walls
Immunohistochemical analysis
The immunohistochemical study in Riedel's thyroiditis is helpful to identify the inflammatory population of this form of thyroiditis. The findings include:[5][6][7][8]
- Predominance of T lymphocytes
- Presence of CD8+, CD4+ and plasma cells
- Presence of granulocytes and monocytes
- Strong positive stain to thyroglobulin
Fine needle aspiration cytology
Fine needle aspiration cytology can lead to the misleading diagnosis due to fibrosis in Riedel thyroiditis. In most of the cases, it has no diagnostic value due to acellular or pauci-cellular smears.[9][10]
