Sporadic goiter

Sporadic goiter is a type of simple goiter. It is a compensatory goiter due to iodine deficiency, goiter-causing substances, or related enzyme defects. It is also called non-toxic goiter, which is characterized by being distributed in non-endemic goiter endemic areas without tumors and inflammation. The thyroid gland is mostly diffuse in the early stage of the disease and can develop into multi-nodular enlargement later.
