Yes: Hashimoto's is a chronic inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland. Over time, the thyroid can become smaller and firm. This is not unusual for hashimoto's.

Yes: Hashimoto's can cause both an enlarged thyroid, also called a goiter (usually early in disease) or a small fibrotic thyroid (usually later in disease).
