Abstract
Summary For the first time, to our knowledge, we report a peculiar histological finding in the thyroid glands of children, namely the presence of empty, elongated, tortuous, retraction-like spaces apparently dissecting the interstitial tissue. The availability of D2-40, an immunohistochemical marker for lymphatic endothelial cells, allowed us to identify these spaces as intraparenchymatous lymphatic capillaries. This phenomenon was evident at the periphery where they blended with marginal lymphatic vessels.
