“…They exhibit an aniline-blue-positive character when stained with Mallory's aniline blue stain. This is in agreement with earlier observations of Bensley [1914] and Carvalheira and Pearse [1967]. Pearse [1966] suggests that the granul es of these cells are composed of some protein or polypeptide in which the basic groups are readily available for dye binding.…”

Histological preparations of thyroid, parathyroid and thymus glands of Herpestes edwardsi were examined for calcitonin cells. They reveal that (1) the thyroid calcitonin cells are oval, rounded and rarely elongated in shape; these cells and their nuclei are distinctly larger than those of the follicular cells and their nuclei; (2) calcitonin cells are unevenly distributed in the thyroid, with the result that certain portions of the thyroid are completely devoid of these cells; (3) on an average, calcitonin cells are in a ratio of 10–15 cells/100 follicular cells; (4) the parathyroid and thymus glands do not display calcitonin cells, and (5) the thyroid gland displays unusual follicles of two categories, (a) follicles with ciliated epithelial cells and (b) follicles with squamous epithelium.

“…(Figure 2). The parafollicular cells are more abundant in neonates, decrease in number adults, only to increase and appear as nodular aggregates after age 60 years [21]. The C cells have pale to clear cytoplasm, oval nuclei, and are difficult to identify with H and E stain, so a stain for calcitonin is used for their identification [21].…”

Emil Theodor Kocher and Theodor Billroth pioneered the surgical management of thyroid disease. Their surgical techniques, knowledge of thyroid anatomy, embryology, histology, physiology, and antisepsis practices transitioned a life-threatening operation to one with acceptable morbidity. The modern head and neck surgeon should have a meticulous surgical technique, combined with a thorough understanding of thyroid embryology and anatomy that is central to the understanding and treatment of the different disease processes of the thyroid gland and the consequences of thyroid gland surgery. In this manuscript we will be examining thyroid gland embryology, anatomy, histology, and physiology that is essential to the practicing thyroid surgeon.
