ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>The Thymus is a lymphatic organ that exhibits certain unique structural features. The supporting reticular stroma arises from endodermal epithelium and produces a cellular reticulum. Lymphocytes are derived from haematopoietic stem cells.<\/p>\n

Materials and methods:<\/strong> The present study was carried out with 20 human foetuses of gestational age varying from 10 to 31weeks in the Department of Anatomy,Thanjavur medical college, Thanjavur. Histogenesis of various components of thymus was studied after staining with Hematoxylin and Eosin.<\/p>\n

Results: <\/strong>Lymphocytes appear by 10th<\/sup> week.Lobulation started appearing by 12th<\/sup> week and completed by 15th<\/sup> week.Corticomedullary differentiation started by 15th<\/sup> week, and become more distinct by18th<\/sup> week. Blood vessels were seen by 10th<\/sup> week and macrophages by 12th<\/sup> week. Hassall\u2019s corpuscles appeared \u00a0by 15th<\/sup> week. The number and size of HC increased between 18 and 24 weeks.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: Precise knowledge of the histogenesis and histodifferentiation of the various components of the normal thymus is essential in analyzing the different pathologies like thymic neoplasia, myasthenia gravis and certain other autoimmune disorder.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> Histogenesis, thymus, lobulation, lymphocytes, Hassall\u2019s corpuscle, gestational age.<\/p>\n
