Numerous pathogenic mechanisms underlie goiter formation. One prominent factor is iodine deficiency, particularly in regions lacking public health interventions to counter it, termed endemic goiter. Additionally, inflammatory thyroid gland disorders such as autoimmune thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis, silent thyroiditis, radiation thyroiditis, subacute thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis can induce thyroid enlargement, leading to goiter. In these cases, the term "goiter" isn't used to characterize the disorder, as the enlargement stems from the inflammatory process and subsides once inflammation resolves. Instead, goiter becomes one among several symptoms of inflammatory thyroid disorders. Conditions like Grave's disease, toxic nodular goiter, and toxic multinodular...
