9.Thyroid, granulomatous thyroiditis (DeQuervain's disease), microscopic

This is subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (DeQuervain's disease), which probably follows a viral infection and leads to a painful enlarged thyroid. This disease is usually self-limited over weeks to months and the patients return to a euthyroid state. Note the foreign body giant cells with destruction of thyroid follicles.
