Zusammenfassung
Der vorliegende Übersichtsartikel beschäftigt sich mit der Einteilung, Klinik und Morphologie der Schilddrüsenentzündungen. Diese machen ca. 20 % aller Schilddrüsenerkrankungen aus. Der überwiegende Teil dieser Fälle ist immunogenen Ursprungs, während nichtimmunogene Entzündungen (erregerbedingt, iatrogen) Seltenheiten darstellen.
Abstract
This review article deals with the classification, clinical features and morphology of thyroiditis. These inflammatory diseases account for approximately 20 % of all thyroid diseases. The vast majority of cases of thyroiditis are of immunogenic origin while non-immunogenic thyroiditis (caused by pathogens or iatrogenic) is a rarity.
