The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

9.1K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

9.5K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

Primary Lymphoid Organs

17.0K
Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

7.1K
The thyroid hormone (TH) plays a pivotal role in the intricate orchestration of physiological processes, exerting profound effects on development, metabolism, and homeostasis throughout different life stages.
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs01:15

Secondary Lymphoid Organs

10.6K
Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues01:18

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues

4.0K
Lymphoid cells and tissues are integral to the immune system, which is crucial in maintaining our body's defense against harmful pathogens. They form the building blocks of lymphoid organs, which include the spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes.
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary thyroid lymphomas are rare, accounting for 1-5% of thyroid malignancies, predominantly of B-cell origin.
  • Lymphocytic thyroiditis is a known risk factor for developing thyroid lymphoma.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old female with a history of lymphocytic thyroiditis presented with a sudden increase in thyroid swelling.
  • Fine needle aspiration revealed a monomorphic population of medium to large lymphoid cells, suggesting lymphoma.

Findings:

  • Fine needle aspiration accurately diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
  • Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis of thyroid lymphoma.

Implications:

  • Fine needle aspiration is an effective and accessible method for early diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
  • Regular follow-up of patients with lymphocytic thyroiditis is crucial for early detection of lymphoma.
