The first WHO Histological Classification of Thyroid Tumours provided the essential basis for a number of clinical, pathological and epidemiological studies. Since its publication in 1974, however, there have been significant changes in the understanding of several areas of thyroid pathology. The text of this second edition has been substantially reworked, although the basic framework remains the same. Definitions and explanatory notes for the different types of thyroid tumours are given, and the lesions are depicted by new colour photographs. There is also a discussion of the most important problems of differential diagnosis. This new edition continues to be the internationally accepted classification of thyroid tumours.
