What Are Goiters and Thyroid Nodules? An enlarged thyroid gland can be felt as a lump under the skin at the front of the neck. When it is large enough to see easily, it's called a goiter. A thyroid nodule is a lump or enlarged area in the thyroid gland.
Most nodules are cysts filled with fluid or with a stored form of thyroid hormone called colloid. Solid nodules have little fluid or colloid and are more likely to be cancerous. Still, most solid nodules are not cancer.
A nodule is a growth of abnormal tissue. Nodules can develop just below the skin. They can also develop in deeper skin tissues or internal organs. Dermatologists use nodules as a general term to describe any lump underneath the skin that's at least 1 centimeter in size.
A goiter is used to describe any enlarged thyroid gland. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in your neck.
Nontoxic goiter is thyroid gland enlargement with no disturbance in the thyroid function. It is not due to inflammation or neoplasia. The goiter may be diffuse or a localized growth. If the goiter is large, it may extend into the retrosternal space.
