Clinical InformationClinical

  • Goiter

    enlargement of the thyroid gland that may increase from about 20 grams to hundreds of grams in human adults. goiter is observed in individuals with normal thyroid function (euthyroidism), thyroid deficiency (hypothyroidism), or hormone overproduction (hyperthyroidism). goiter may be congenital or acquired, sporadic or endemic (goiter, endemic).

  • Goiter, Endemic

    a form of iodine deficiency disorders characterized by an enlargement of the thyroid gland in a significantly large fraction of a population group. endemic goiter is common in mountainous and iodine-deficient areas of the world where the diet contains insufficient amount of iodine.

  • Goiter, Nodular

    an enlarged thyroid gland containing multiple nodules (thyroid nodule), usually resulting from recurrent thyroid hyperplasia and involution over many years to produce the irregular enlargement. multinodular goiters may be nontoxic or may induce thyrotoxicosis.

  • Goiter, Substernal

    an enlarged thyroid gland with at least 50% of the gland situated behind the sternum. it is an unusual presentation of an intrathoracic goiter. substernal goiters frequently cause compression on the trachea leading to deviation, narrowing, and respiratory symptoms.

  • Graves Disease

    a common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic goiter. it is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor. these autoantibodies activate the tsh receptor, thereby stimulating the thyroid gland and hypersecretion of thyroid hormones. these autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (graves ophthalmopathy) and the skin (graves dermopathy).

  • Lingual Goiter

    pathological enlargement of the lingual thyroid, ectopic thyroid tissue at the base of the tongue. it may cause upper airway obstruction; dysphagia; or hypothyroidism symptoms.

Patient EducationClinical

Thyroid Diseases

Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. It makes hormones that control the way the body uses energy. These hormones affect nearly every organ in your body and control many of your body's most important functions. For example, they affect your breathing, heart rate, weight, digestion, and moods.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
