			| GoiterGoiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland. It can be caused by many
		things, including nodules, inflammation, and Graves' disease. Often goiter can
		be easily seen as a lump in the front of the neck, slightly to the left and/or
		right of center. It may move up and down when a person swallows.ByHealthwise StaffPrimary Medical ReviewerE. Gregory Thompson, MD - Internal Medicine
