Zusammenfassung

Therapiebedingte Veränderungen der Schilddrüse gehen mit mehr oder weniger spezifischen morphologischen Veränderungen einher. Die Therapie kann dabei zur Behandlung schilddrüseneigener Störungen (in der Regel eine Überfunktion) durchgeführt worden sein (Thyreostatika, Radiojodtherapie), oder die Schilddrüse ist bei der Behandlung anderer Erkrankungen sekundär mitbetroffen (z. B. Bestrahlung, Amiodaron, Minocyklin). Der vorliegende Übersichtsartikel beschreibt die morphologischen Auffälligkeiten der wichtigsten therapiebedingten Veränderungen der Schilddrüse.

Abstract

Therapy related alterations to the thyroid gland are associated with more or less specific morphological changes. The therapy (thyrostatic drugs, radio-iodine) may be administered for the treatment of thyroid dysfunction (hyperthyroidism), or the thyroid gland is involved during or after the treatment (irradiation, various drugs) of primarily non-thyroid related diseases. The present review summarizes the most important morphological changes related to therapy.
