A member asked:
What it's mean in doctor note: neck: thyroid palpable, but not enlarged"? it can be danger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: It means that the doctor could feel the thyroid gland in the neck, but that it wasn't any bigger than it's supposed to be. This means that the thyroid gland felt normal to the doctor doing the exam, and is not dangerous at all.
