Solid cell nests, often abbreviated as SCN, also known as solid cell rests, are specific groups of cells found in the thyroid gland of babies.[1] Typically they are a fraction of a millimeter in size but can rarely become larger.[1] They are considered to be the remains of the ultimobranchial body that exists in early development.[1]
Discovery
[edit]Solid cell nests were discovered in 1907 by pathologist Sophia Getzowa, as documented in her paper titled "Über die Glandula parathyreoidea, intrathyreoideale Zellhaufen derselben und Reste des postbranchialen Körpers".[2]
