Unaffected follicles demonstrate a normal density of blood vessels clustered both close to and further from the follicle (A). As the follicle shows changes of mucinous fibroplasia, an increased number of single vessels and scattered solitary endothelial cells are seen (B). Once the follicle is fully affected and demonstrates fibrosis, only more distantly located blood vessel clusters remain (C).
