We report two cases of multiple intrathyroidal cysts in women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The cysts were lined by squamous and focally columnar epithelium, and they were surrounded by follicular lymphoid tissue and a fibrous capsule. They appeared similar to branchial cleft cysts of the lateral neck and were distinct from previously reported types of thyroid cysts. Although the histogenesis of these lesions is unclear, they are probably derived from developmental rests. A relationship between the cystic enlargement of these rests and the Hashimoto's disease seems likely.
我们报告了两例患有桥本甲状腺炎的女性患者出现多个甲状腺内囊肿的病例。囊肿内衬鳞状上皮，局部为柱状上皮，周围有滤泡样淋巴组织和纤维性包膜。它们看起来类似于侧颈部的鳃裂囊肿，与先前报道的甲状腺囊肿类型不同。尽管这些病变的组织发生尚不清楚，但它们可能源自发育性残余组织。这些残余组织的囊性扩大与桥本氏病之间似乎存在关联。
