Nontoxic multinodular goiter (MNG) is a disease of the thyroid gland characterized by the presence of thyroid nodules (dominant focal structural lesions) without biochemical abnormalities of the thyroid gland.
A nontoxic goiter is a diffuse or nodular enlargement of the thyroid gland that does not result from an inflammatory or neoplastic process and is not associated with abnormal thyroid function.
A goiter simply means an enlarged thyroid. A goiter can either be a simple goiter where the whole thyroid is bigger than normal or a multinodular goiter where there are multiple nodules. Multinodular goiters can be either a toxic multinodular goiter (i.e. makes too much thyroid hormone and causes hyperthyroidism.

Examples of toxic goiters include diffuse toxic goiter (Graves disease), toxic multinodular goiter, and toxic adenoma (Plummer disease). Nontoxic goiter: A goiter without hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism is described as a nontoxic goiter.
diffuse goitre – where the entire thyroid gland swells and feels smooth to the touch. nodular goitre – where solid or fluid-filled lumps called nodules develop within the thyroid and make the thyroid gland feel lumpy to touch; the nodules can be single or multiple and may contain fluid.

What causes multinodular goitre? The cause(s) of multinodular goitre are, in most cases, unknown. Over a period of time, nodules are formed due to different rates of growth in different parts of the gland, possibly combined with other external influences such as diet, drugs or genes.

Thyromegaly is a disorder in which the thyroid gland — the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck — becomes abnormally enlarged. Thyromegaly is more commonly known as a goiter.
Thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism] Clinical Information. 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 can also affect the eyes (graves ophthalmopathy) and the skin (graves dermopathy). A condition usually caused by excessive production of thyroid hormone and characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland. Exophthalmos occurring in association with goiter; hyperthyroidism with protrusion of the eyeballs.
