Figure 33. Examples of very minute discrete lesions of various histologic patterns scattered
throughout the thyroids of many irradiated Marshallese. Manyofthese lesions are solid cellular
or papillary; sections A (15), C (23), and D ( x40) are from subjects (No. 15, 1969; No.8,
1972; No. 40, 1973) whose thyroids contained no frankly malignantlesions. Section B ({ x52) is
from subject No. 2229, 1969. Estimated doses to the thyroid (in rads) were (A) 855, (B) 31, (C)
450, and (D) 335.
