Abstract

The name Hürthle is used in medicine to designate a particular type of thyroid cell, mainly characterized by a granular and deeply eosinophilic cytoplasm. This article describes the life of Karl Hürthle (1860–1945) and the experiments he performed in the early 1890s to explore the morphology and function of the thyroid gland.
