If you are hypothyroid, you may have Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (see Hypothyroidism brochure) and you may get additional blood tests to confirm this diagnosis. Other tests used to help diagnose the cause of the goiter may include a radioactive iodine scan, thyroid ultrasound, or a fine needle aspiration biopsy (see Thyroid Nodule brochure ).
Diagnosis of Simple Nontoxic Goiter
Thyroid Nodule Symptom # 7: Symptoms of hyperthyroidism; symptoms of too much thyroid hormone
Thyroid nodules
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.
E04.0E04. 0 - Nontoxic diffuse goiter. ICD-10-CM.
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.
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.

Simple nontoxic goiter, which may be diffuse or nodular, is noncancerous hypertrophy of the thyroid without hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or inflammation. Except in severe iodine deficiency, thyroid function is normal and patients are asymptomatic except for an obviously enlarged, nontender thyroid.
Compensatory small elevations in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) occur, preventing hypothyroidism, but the TSH stimulation results in goiter formation. Recurrent cycles of stimulation and involution may result in nontoxic nodular goiters.
ICD-10 code E04. 1 for Nontoxic single thyroid nodule is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
Nontoxic things aren't poisonous. It's generally safe to eat or breathe nontoxic substances, and they don't harm the environment.
While most thyroid nodules are non-cancerous (Benign), ~5% are cancerous. Thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB): a simple procedure that is done in the doctor's office to determine if a thyroid nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or cancer.
Multinodular goiters (MNG) have recently been shown to have an incidence of cancer that approaches that of solitary thyroid nodule. However, fine needle aspiration (FNA) of a MNG is limited due to the presence of multiple nodules.

The ICD code E04 is used to code Goitre. A goitre (from the Latin gutteria, struma) is a swelling of the neck or larynx resulting from enlargement of the thyroid gland (thyromegaly), associated with a thyroid gland that is not functioning properly. Specialty: Endocrinology. MeSH Code:
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code E04.9 and a single ICD9 code, 241.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
