Le goitre est un autre trouble de la thyroïde, qui peut être difficile à distinguer du nodule. Dans le cas du goitre [...], toute la glande thyroïde augmente de volume. Cela provoque, à la base du cou, un renflement qui peut être énorme ou à peine visible. Le nodule, quant à lui, se caractérise plutôt par une petite masse circonscrite sur la thyroïde. Habituellement, il n’est pas suffisamment gros pour être apparent. Dans de rares cas, des nodules se forment sur un goitre. La thyroïde est alors «gonflée» et bosselée : il s’agit du goitre multinodulaire. 2, record 4, French, - goitre%20multinodulaire

Pour parler de goitre multinodulaire, il est nécessaire de palper plus de deux nodules. La palpation est ici souvent difficile et parfois en défaut, des nodules situés en plein parenchyme pouvant ne pas être détectés. Il faudra donc souvent recourir à une échographie pour en préciser le nombre et la taille. 3, record 4, French, - goitre%20multinodulaire
