In this article, we describe the usefulness of thyroid needle biopsy in the differential diagnosis of thyroid disorders revealing unusual thyroid function. Firstly, we describe the relationship between thyroid function and its histology in 601 cases of chronic thyroiditis. In the histologic group A, the majority of the cases showed a latent or overt hypothyroidism and in histologic group B, hyperthyroid, euthyroid and latent hypothyroid cases were found in nearly equal frequency, respectively. In histologic group C, most cases were in euthyroid and in histologic group D, most cases showed a hyperthyroidism. In the silent thyroiditis and postpartum thyroiditis, known to show a characteristic clinical and laboratory finding, the histologic features of thyroid gland were as follows: the observed characteristic histologic changes in both diseases were an extensive follicular destruction associated with chronic diffuse thyroiditis. These destructive changes disappeared in association with the clinical and laboratory recovery. In the patients with iodine-excess hypothyroidism, the thyroid glands also revealed characteristic histologic changes. A marked hyperplastic change of follicular cells and a lack of colloid material in the follicular lumen was the predominant histologic feature. Based on our personal experiences, thyroid needle biopsy should be recommended as a useful tool for differentiation of causes of hyper- or hypothyroidism.
