Overview
Hashimoto's disease was first described by Hashimoto Haraku in 1912. He named it struma lymphomatosa which was renamed as Hashimoto's in 1931.
Historical Perspective
Also known as Hashimoto's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is named after the Japanese physician Hashimoto Hakaru (1881−1934) of the medical school at Kyushu University, who first described it.[1]
- He described four patients with a chronic disorder of the thyroid. Hakaru Hashimoto explained in his report that the new pathological characteristics he had identified, namely infiltration of lymphoid and plasma cells, the formation of lymphoid follicles with germinal centers, fibrosis, degenerated thyroid epithelial cells and leukocytes in the lumen, were histologically similar to those of Mikulicz’s disease.[2].[3]
- He termed the new disease struma lymphomatosa due to the lymphoid cell infiltration and formation of lymphoid follicles with germinal centers.[3]
- It was initially considered to be an earlier manifestation of Riedel’s thyroiditis.
- Hashimoto’s struma lymphomatosa was then ignored and forgotten until 1931, when Allen Graham and his team at Cleveland reported struma lymphomatosa as detailed by Hakaru Hashimoto and recommended it to be considered a separate disease as Hashimoto suggested. Since then, this disease has been referred to as Hashimoto thyroiditis.[3]
