Disorders of Thyroid:
Hyperthyroidism Hypothyroidism Thyroiditis Diffuse multinodular Goiter. Neoplasms – adenoma/carcinoma. Congenital – Thyroglossal cyst/duct.
![Page 7: Endocrine Lect-2. Pathology of Thyroid TUCOM- department of pathology year 3 endocrine gland lectures 3&4](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c0151a28abf838ccdab2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Goiter
It is a diffuse or focal enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Caused by: 1- Colloid goiter. 2- Grave’s disease. 3- Thyroiditis. 4- Tumors.
![Page 8: Endocrine Lect-2. Pathology of Thyroid TUCOM- department of pathology year 3 endocrine gland lectures 3&4](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c0151a28abf838ccdab2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Colloid goiter:
most cases start as diffuse enlargement with nodularity development at later stages.
They represent compensatory hyperplasia of follicular epithelium secondary to decreased thyroid hormone production.
![Page 9: Endocrine Lect-2. Pathology of Thyroid TUCOM- department of pathology year 3 endocrine gland lectures 3&4](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c0151a28abf838ccdab2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Diffuse-Multinodular goitrePathophysiology
Endemic & sporadic types Endemic: Cassava – thiocyanate – iodide
transport. Sporadic: rare, females, young and usually of
unclear cause. (may be associated mild defect, iodine deficiency and physiological needs).
When there is low T3 and T4 there will be an increase of TRH & TSH that induce secretion of thyroid hs associated with enlargement of thyroid gland by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of follicular epithelium at earlier stages diffuse and by time nodular.
![Page 10: Endocrine Lect-2. Pathology of Thyroid TUCOM- department of pathology year 3 endocrine gland lectures 3&4](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c0151a28abf838ccdab2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stages
Hyperplastic stage & Colloid stage. Repeated attacks multinodular due to
uneven hyperplasia and accumulation of colloid as a result of tension and stress that lead to rupture of follicles.
![Page 11: Endocrine Lect-2. Pathology of Thyroid TUCOM- department of pathology year 3 endocrine gland lectures 3&4](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c0151a28abf838ccdab2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CLINICALLY:
1- Huge size result in dysphagia, airway obstruction, chocking sensation and stridor. SITE as retrosternal extension causing superior vena cava syndrome with vein enlargement, tachycardia and heart failure.
2- Rarely toxic hyperthyroidism plummer syndrome.
3- Mass effect and misdiagnosed as tumor need US, isotope scanning, FNAC, CT scan and MRI.
![Page 12: Endocrine Lect-2. Pathology of Thyroid TUCOM- department of pathology year 3 endocrine gland lectures 3&4](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c0151a28abf838ccdab2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Morphology: Grossly: at early stages symmetric and
diffusely enlarges the thyroid gland and in late stages there is multiple nodules on cut surfaces. Some nodules show cystic degeneration, hemorrhage, fibrosis, and calcification.
Microscopy show randomly sized colloid filled follicles lined by flattened cells due to pressure of colloid with focal areas of hyperplasia, fibrosis, cystic changes, necrosis & hemorrhage present as hemosiderin laden macrophages.
![Page 13: Endocrine Lect-2. Pathology of Thyroid TUCOM- department of pathology year 3 endocrine gland lectures 3&4](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697c0151a28abf838ccdab2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The mass is relatively symmetric and diffusely enlarges the thyroid gland. The patient is from an endemic goiter area (in this case, Cambodia), where more than 10% of the population have goiters due to low-iodine diets (lack of seafood or iodized salt), often combined with diets high in vegetables that block iodine uptake by the thyroid gland ("goitrogens," such as cabbage or cassava).

The hyperfunctioning follicular epithelium is tall columnar, representing cellular hypertrophy. Papillary infoldings into the follicular lumens result from epithelial proliferation and overcrowding, representing hyperplasia. Peripheral scalloping of the colloid within follicular lumens represents active pinocytosis by the hyperfunctioning epithelium.

Generally has a minor role in the
evaluation of thyroid nodules
Palpable nodules do not need ultrasound
Small non-palpable nodules (<1cm) are
generally unimportant even if malignant
Cystic nodules can be malignant

Thyroid Nodules FNA
The most important test in the evaluation of a thyroid nodule
Has an overall sensitivity of 83-98% and specificity of 92-100%
Complications are very rare and usually minor

Thyroid NodulesRadionucleotide Scans
Most thyroid nodules are cold (95%)
Most cold nodules are benign (80-85%) Hot nodules are usually functioning and can
be detected by TSH (suppressed)
Warm nodules can be malignant

Radioactive iodine
is concentrated from the blood by thyroid follicular cells, allowing correlation of anatomic features with thyroid function. Decay of radioactive iodine is detected as dark spots on the scan. A normal thyroid gland shows diffuse moderate iodine uptake in the right and left lobes and isthmus. Graves disease is characterized by diffuse increased uptake. Multinodular goiter most often shows patchy, irregular uptake with some nodules hyperfunctional compared to normal (dark, or "warm," on scan) and other nodules hypofunctional (pale, or "cold"). The focal rounded defect lacking uptake (cold nodule) is characteristic of thyroid neoplasms and cysts. A focal rounded area of increased uptake that suppresses the remaining thyroid gland (hot nodule, not pictured) is most often a hyperfunctional follicular adenoma or goiter nodule.

Thyroid NodulesEvaluation (Summary)
Most thyroid nodules are benign TSH determines the thyroid functional
status Thyroid scanning and U/S are generally
not helpful FNA is the most useful diagnostic
procedure

Thyroid Carcinoma
Uncommon – child – elderly. Common - Papillary adenocarcinoma. Associated with radiation exposure,
especially during the first 2 decades.

Papillary Carcinoma
Most common cancer – 75-80% Idiopathic, Radiation, Gardner & Cowden
syndromes.Papillary folds, Psammoma bodies,
Orphan-Anne nucleus.98% 10 year survival when localized.

This is a lobectomy specimen of thyroid gland showing normal parenchyma, within which is a 2-cm, white, slightly irregular, expansile tumor. No grossly discernible papillae are present on the cut surface. The neoplasm is not encapsulated, but is well demarcated from adjacent, beefy-red thyroid parenchyma, and it appears to distend and distort the capsule of the thyroid gland without penetrating through it.

The papillae shown here are covered by cuboidal epithelium that has nuclei that are characteristic of papillary thyroid carcinoma: large, crowded, and overlapping nuclei with vesicular chromatin, small nucleoli, infrequent mitotic figures and loss of polarity. Chromatin clearing (ground-glass "Orphan Annie" nuclei) and irregular nuclear contours with grooves and cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions are hallmark features of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Shared features between histopathology and cytology of papillary thyroid carcinoma are nuclear enlargement, intranuclear inclusions, nuclear grooves, small nucleoli, and nuclear overlapping. Unlike tissue sections, cytologic smears of papillary thyroid carcinoma show finely granular chromatin (inset). Normal follicular cells are roughly the same size as a mature lymphocyte nucleus or a red blood cell. Note
that the inset shows nuclear detail, but the cytoplasm of the tumor cells is pale.
