Thyroid enlargement (goiter) or nodules are usually benign, though a small proportion may be malignant. They can be diffuse or nodular and sometimes cause compressive or hormonal symptoms.

Know symptoms

Neck lump or swelling, visible or palpable.
Difficulty swallowing, voice changes, or breathing issues if large.
Signs of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism in some patients.
Rapid growth, pain, or firmness may suggest malignancy.

Know causes

Iodine deficiency leading to thyroid enlargement.
Autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease.
Nodular degeneration over time or aging-related changes.
Radiation exposure increasing risk of thyroid cancer.

Care

Ensure iodine sufficiency and regular thyroid evaluation.
Thyroid function tests and ultrasound for suspicious nodules.
Fine-needle aspiration cytology is performed for definitive diagnosis if needed.
Surgery or radioactive iodine therapy for malignant or symptomatic cases.
