Estrogen receptor(ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) in core-needle biopsied thyroidtissues of 30 cases of autoimmune thyroid disease and 2 cases of simple gotter were measured usingenzyme-linked histochemical technique. The results showed that the frequences of presence of ER inGraves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroditis(HT) were 50% (9/18) and 58. 3K (7/12) respectively ; and those of PgR were 11. 1 % (2/18) in GD, 16. 2% (2/7) in HT. Both ER and PgR werenegative in simple gotter. This study demonstrated that the content of ER in thyroid tissues of autoimmune thyroid disease was relatively high, suggesting that estrogen may play a role in the development of the disease.
