21 Figure 10. Gross picture of sectioned thyroid gland from 14-year-old Marshallese girl (No. 69) showing nodules. Figure 11. Microscopic section (10) of thyroid gland from samecase as in Figure 10. These changes are char- acteristic of all three cases. Note the multiple, discrete nodules with wide variation in size and growth pattern. Somenodules consist of microfollicular tissue and others of colloid cysts, while still others show hyperplasia with papillary infolding of the epithelium.
