[Elektronische Daten] [David Driman, Sylvia Asa, David Murray, Lanny Goluboff, Ralph Shaw] Two cases of granulomatous inflammation of the thyroid gland associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis are presented. In neither case is there an obvious cause of granuloma formation, the only accompanying abnormality being rheumatoid arthritis in one of the patients. Autoimmune thyroid disease has been reported in association with sarcoidosis as well as rheumatoid arthritis, diseases in which cellular immunity is activated. Immune mechanisms alone are capable of initiating and amplifying granulomatous inflammation. In this report, we suggest that the granulomas in both cases may have their origin in immunological malfunction, the same immunological malfunction responsible for Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
