Goiter is the abnormal growth of thyroid gland. The goiter emerges as a tumor in anterior neck and it might be visible or sometimes not visible however palpable. Goiter can take place in hypothyroidism or in hyperthyroidism. Endemic goiter is the goiter caused by the deficient iodine ingestion (that is, deficiency of iodine in diet). The endemic feature of the disease is described as the iodine content of diet is frequently a social or cultural condition affecting lots of people of some geographical areas. The hypothyroidism caused by scarce iodine ingestion is more common in areas far from the sea coast (as sea food is rich in iodine). These days the problem is frequently resolved by obligatory addition of iodine in the table salt. Since table salt is a broadly used condiment, the supply of iodine in diet is nearly assured by this technique.
