The carcinoma of the thyroid gland seen at Harare Histopathology Laboratory (Zimbabwe) has been reviewed and analysed. There was a male to female ratio of 1:4. The commonest histological type of tumour was follicular carcinoma (70%). There were equal numbers of papillary and anaplastic types (14% each). Only two cases of medullary carcinoma were found, one of these being in a twelve-year-old female patient. The finding of a high occurance of follicular carcinoma is consistent with Zimbabwe being a country where endemic goitre is common.
对在哈拉雷组织病理学实验室（津巴布韦）所见的甲状腺癌进行了回顾和分析。男女比例为1:4。最常见的肿瘤组织学类型是滤泡癌（70%）。乳头状癌和未分化癌的数量相等（各占14%）。仅发现两例髓样癌，其中一例发生在一名12岁的女性患者身上。滤泡癌高发这一发现与津巴布韦是一个地方性甲状腺肿常见的国家这一情况相符。
