Generally 10% neutral buffered formalin. Fix all thyroids at least overnight to avoid artifactual nuclear atypia.[1]

Gross processing
Selection and trimming
- Weigh[1]
- Measure each lobe and isthmus in 3 dimensions, respectively.[1]
- Ink outer surface,[1] at least if malignancy is suspected.[2]:Template:Ink note
Hemithyroidecomy (lobe + isthmus) or lobectomy, including completion thyroidectomies: Use separate colors over the cut surface and the outer “capsular” surface.[notes 1]
None of the outer “capsular” surface should be inked like the cut surface.[notes 1]
Serially section the specimen at 3-4mm intervals,[3] such as follows:[1]
