Selected Topics in the Pathology of the Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands in Children and Adolescents
Authors:John A. Ozolek
Affiliation:West Virginia University School of Medicine, Morgantown, WV USA
Abstract:The goals of this chapter in keeping with the overall general themes of this special edition will be (1) to highlight aspects of development of the thyroid and parathyroid glands with particular focus on the role and contribution of the neural crest (or not) and how this may impact on the pathology that is seen, (2) to emphasize those lesions particularly more commonly arising in the pediatric population that actually generate specimens that the surgical pathologist would encounter, and (3) highlight more in depth specific lesions associated with heritable syndromes or specific gene mutations since the heritable syndromes tends to manifest in the pediatric age group. In this light, the other interesting areas of pediatric thyroid disease including medical thyroid diseases, congenital hypothyroidism, anatomic variants and aberrations of development that lead to structural anomalies will not be emphasized here.
Keywords:Pediatric   Thyroid   Parathyroid   Development   C-cells   Ultimobranchial bodies   Heritable syndromes
