(Created page with "'''Staining''': HE '''Organ''': Thyroid '''Description''': Normal thyroid follicles are replaced by two types of abnormal follicles: * Hypertrophic follicles * Follicles with resorption vacuoles The follicular cells of the hypertrophic follicles are hypertrophic (large). These follicles have no visible lumen or colloid substance. Due to the hyperactivity of the thyroid follicular cells these cells will quickly consume colloid. This leaves behind small “vacuoles...")
