Thyroid enlargement caused by compensatory hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the follicular epithelium in response to thyroid hormone deficiency.
Two morphologic forms of goitre are distinguished as simple goitre and nodular goitre.<\/p>

CAUSES-<\/h3>

Most common cause is dietary lack of iodine, some cases occur due to goitrogens and genetic factors.<\/p>

This condition is more marked in females, often appears at puberty or in adolescence, following which it may either regress or may progress to nodular goitre.<\/p>

Nodular goitre is regarded as the end stage of long standing simple goitre. This condition is characterised by extreme degree of tumour like enlargement of the thyroid gland with nodularity causing cosmetic disfigurement. In many cases, it may cause dysphagia and choking due to compression of oesophagus and trachea. It also affects females mainly but older individuals.<\/p>
