Fixation

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

Microscopic evaluation

The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Grave's disease (50-80% worldwide). Its typical features are:[2]

  • Hyperplastic thyroid follicles with papillary infoldings.
  • Diffuse hyperplasia and hypertrophy of follicular cells with retention of lobular architecture.
  • Prominent vascular congestion.
  • Tall follicular cells with papillae that usually lack fibrovascular cores.
  • Nuclei are round, often basally located, and rarely overlap.
  • Typically decreased colloid amount, and when present it typically has peripheral scalloping.
  • Variable patchy lymphoid stromal infiltrate.
