✦ Synopsis

This contribution is the result of an effort to coordinate the widely scattered obserrations, and the diverse claims and suggestions, regarding the various types of giant-cells of mammaliaii ant1 higher rertebrate tissues. The original stimulus for my investigations ( '18, '20) of this subject was furnished by the persistent confusion, in certain text-books and portions of the literature, concerning the two distinct series of superficially similar giant-cells f onnd closelp associated in the early stages of eiicliondral bone development : the hemogcnic ('megalokaryoc>+es ') and the osseopliagic (' osteoclasts '). More recently, further confusion has been introduced into this field by attempts to identify phagocytic giantcells, particularly the osteolytic variety, with degeneration s yiicyt ia.

The maiii results of this study are summarized in the accompanying classification :

Multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) are reported in many thyroid lesions. This study examines whether their quantity and quality can help in the differential diagnosis. All fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) of the thyroid with a ''significant'' number of MNGCs were reviewed from 1995 -1998. There were 2
