Goiter \Goi"ter\ Goitre \Goi"tre\, n. [F. go[^i]tre, L. guttur
throat, cf. tumidum guttur goiter, gutturosus goitered. See
{Guttural}.] (Med.)
An enlargement of the thyroid gland, on the anterior part of
the neck, usually resulting from iodine deficiency;
bronchocele. It is frequently associated with cretinism, and
was at one time common in mountainous regions, especially in
certain parts of Switzerland. The incidence of goiter has
been substantially reduced by addition of iodine to ceratin
foods, such as salt.

Syn: struma.
