Abstract
The presence of well‐formed granulomas, multinucleated giant cells containing colloid, and degenerative changes in thyroid follicular epithelium are the key diagnostic features of granulomatous (subacute, de Quervain's) thyroiditis. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a confirmatory test that is helpful in cases without any clinical suspicion and to exclude differential diagnoses.
