| Résumé : | In an investigation of autoimmune thyroiditis, two cases of chronic asymptomatic thyroiditis, two cases of nodular goitre with focal thyroiditis and two cases of Hashimoto goitre were studied with the electron microscope. The ultrastructural observations were similar in the six cases. Cytological alterations of the follicle cells were found, some of which suggested an increased metabolic activity. Lymphocytes and plasmocytes established close relationships with the thyroid cells: emperipolesis was encountered. © 1969 Springer-Verlag. |
