Abstract
Histopathological findings of Mönckeberg's sclerosis in the thyroid vessels of three
female patients are described. Two of the patients presented with papillary carcinoma
and the third presented with two cystic adenomatous nodules. Lesions of chronic lymphocytic
thyroiditis were observed in two of the cases. The presence of Mönckeberg's sclerosis
is an indication for further examination of patients’ vascular systems because of
the high risk for cardiovascular events.
