Hassall’s Corpuscles Assessment in Dog
Abstract
Hassall’s corpuscles are particular structures, very polymorphic, present in the medulla of the thymic lobules. The aim of this study is to morphostructurally assess Hassall’s corpuscles in dogs. The thymus from 5 deceases dogs (different noninfectious diseases) was histologically processed. After examination of the sections, there were on average 3-4 Hassall’s corpuscles highlighted in the medulla of the thymic lobules. Most of the Hassall’s corpuscles are relatively small, polymorphic and nonkeratinized.a) Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.
