How is Histology Used in Diagnosing Thyroid Disorders?
Histological examination of thyroid tissue involves studying the cellular architecture and morphology. Techniques like Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining allow pathologists to identify abnormalities in follicular cells, colloid content, and the presence of inflammatory cells or fibrotic tissue. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a common method to obtain thyroid tissue samples for histological analysis.
