Summary The dissolution of Hassall's corpuscles by macrophages has been demonstrated in the sheep thymus. The findings indicate that enlarged Hassall's corpuscles are rapidly broken down by macrophages at the end of gestation or immediately after birth and replaced by newly formed corpuscles, and that these cyclic changes in Hassall's corpuscles persist, under normal physiological conditions, throughout life.
