A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland.  There are 3 classifications for a goiter; first is a simple goiter, second is hereditary goiters, and goiters that can be caused by other circumstances.  A simple goiter is caused by an inadequate supply of thyroid hormone.  The thyroid gland recognizes this is then begins to produce too much of the hormone which then causes a goiter.  In some cases a goiter can form in a person depending on where they may live.  A person who lives where there is a short supply of iodine in there food supply will have a goiter form.  In other instances, some medications may cause a simple goiter.  Hereditary goiters are formed when a person has a family history of the same.  Many times they will form in a person over the age of 40.  Other thyroid disorders may cause a goiter such as Hashimoto's- inflammation of the thyroid and underproduction of thyroid hormones, Grave's- a disease where your body attacks your own body, thyroid cancer, thyroiditis- inflammation of the thyroid, pregnancy might cause a goiter, and exposure to radiation. 

There are some symptoms of a goiter.  If a person has difficulty swallowing, swelling or a lump around the throat area, hoarseness, or difficulty breathing could all be signs of a goiter.  Medication may be prescribed to help shrink the goiter.  However, if the goiter is larger surgery may be needed and a biopsy will be performed.
