Overview
In 1500, Leonardo da Vinci was the first who recognized and drew the thyroid gland. In 1834, Robert Graves was the first who described described a syndrome of palpitation, goiter, and exophthalmos. In 1857, Maurice Schiff was the first to perform a successful total thyroidectomies in animals. In 1895, Adolf Magnus Levy was the first to describe the influence of the thyroid gland and thyroid hormones on the basal metabolic rate. In 1947, Cope, Rawson, and McArthur were the first who described the usage of radioactive iodine to demonstrate a "hot" thyroid nodule. In 1948, T. Templa, J. Aleksandrowicz, and M. Till were the first who described the usage of fine needle thyroid biopsy as a diagnostic method for thyroid nodules.[1]
Historical perspective
