What is a goiter?

A type of cancer

A blood disorder

A kidney stone

A visible swelling of the thyroid gland

A goiter is a visible swelling or enlargement of the thyroid gland, typically caused by an iodine deficiency. It is not a type of cancer (A), a blood disorder (B), or a kidney stone (C). While certain thyroid cancers may cause a goiter, the primary definition of a goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland, not a form of cancer. Similarly, goiters are not caused by blood disorders or kidney stones, although these can cause swelling in other parts of the body.
