초록
Pathologists play a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of patients as well as in research. The first article of thyroid related research in Korea was reported in 1911. The Korean Society of Pathologists was found in 1946. In Korea thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology was introduced in the 1970s and became widely available in the 1980s. The Korean Society for Cytopathology was founded in 1986. Korean Endocrine Pathology Study Group was founded in 2007. Korean pathologists have been actively involved in internal and external scientific and educational activities. Herein, we briefly review the history of thyroid cytopathology and surgical pathology in Korea.
