the authors carried out a histochemical study with lectins ( ulex europaeus agglutinin-i [ uea-i ] , triticum vulgaris [ wga ] , glycine max [ sba ] , dolichos biflorus [ dba ] , and arachis hypogaea [ pna ] ) in different thyroid gland conditions ( 17 benign nodular goiters , three diffuse hyperplasias , five hashimoto 's thyroiditis , 20 follicular adenomas , 14 well-differentiated papillary carcinomas , five well-differentiated follicular carcinomas , and 30 normal thyroids ) in order to determine if specific lectin patterns are developed during neoplastic transformation .
