A member asked:
Can you have a goiter without it being visible? meaning you do not see neck enlargement?thank you

Goiter: Yes. It depends on the size of your neck and the thyroid. Many multinodular goiters in US and Europe are subclinical on visual inspection and may only be appreciated on careful palpation or ultrasound.
