Question 14

normal morphology of thyroid follicular epithelial cells

Answer 14

cuboidal or low columnar

Question 15

Graves disease histology

Answer 15

Diffuse hypertrophy and hyperplasia of follicular cells (tall and columnar and more crowded) —results in papillary formation which project into the lumen.

Lymphoid infiltration (mostly T cells) into the thyroid stroma

Cells often are enlarged and can show cytoplasmic eosinophilia, with enlarged nuclei and can mimic the nuclei of papillary thyroid carcinoma (no fibrovascular cores)

The colloid shows scalloping reflecting increased use of the colloid to produce thyroxin
