Squamous epithelium in thyroid is an unusual finding. It is seen in a variety of inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. It's presence has been attributed to metaplastic change of follicular epithelium by some authors and to the persistence of ultimobranchial body by others. We encountered a case of multinodular goiter with groups of squamous cells lining a cystic cavity. We report it because of it's rarity with a brief review of literature.
甲状腺中的鳞状上皮是一种不寻常的发现。它见于多种炎症和肿瘤性疾病。一些作者认为其存在归因于滤泡上皮的化生改变，而另一些作者则认为是鳃后体的残留。我们遇到一例多结节性甲状腺肿，其囊性腔内衬有成群的鳞状细胞。鉴于其罕见性，我们报告此病例并对文献进行简要回顾。
