Abstract

Morphometric examination of puncture specimens of the thyroid showed that the distribution of parameters reflecting the degree of aggregation of follicular cells on the histograms depends on the type of thyroid disease. The detected regularities permit a preoperative differentiation of follicular and papillary cancer from follicular adenoma, autoimmune thyroiditis, nodular colloid and diffuse toxic goiter.
