title: [Histomorphometric study of lymphocyte population in thyroid in Graves' disease after treatment (author's transl)].
abstract: The degree of lymphocyte infiltration in subtotal thyroidectomy specimens from patients with treated Graves' disease varies greatly from one case to another. A morphometric study, employing standard and immunofluorescent slides was conducted to evaluate possible statistical correlations between clinical and morphological findings. Quantitative lymphoplasmocytic cellularity differences appeared to be related to the course of the disease. Lymphocyte infiltration was greater in patients with long-standing disease and/or relapses.
