Yes it is normal.: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis can present without any enlargement to variable degree of enlargement.It can present as thyroid nodule -single or Multiple.. If you been treated with Levothyroxine/Levoxyl/Synthroid it may help to reduce the size of gland or it helps to prevent further enlrgement and small % of cases it may get to normal.It may need to adjust the dose of treatment .
