Pathology of the thyroid and parathyroid glands.
Open communication between surgeon and pathologist is key in the area of thyroid and parathyroid pathology. Gross and microscopic examination provides valuable data, including important prognostic information, to guide further clinical management. A number of new techniques are being developed. These will not only enable us to learn more about the pathogenesis of lesions in these organs but may provide additional prognostic data.
