Goiter may takes place in the hyperthyroidism or in hypothyroidism. Endemic goiter refers to the goiter which is caused by the deficient iodine ingestion (deficiency of the iodine within the diet). The endemic character of the disease is described as the iodine content of diet is often a social or cultural condition which is affecting several people of some of the geographical regions.
