CYTOLOGIC CHANGES IN THE ECCRINE SWEAT GLAND IN HYPOTHYROIDISM - A PRELIMINARY REPORT

[摘要] A particulate material within the large, pale cells of the eccrine sweat gland has been observed in 11 of 12 patients with hypothyroidism. This material appears to be a mucoprotein. Further work is necessary to determine more fully the chemical composition of this material as well as its functional and diagnostic significance.
