What does GOITER mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A swelling of the neck caused by an enlargement of the thyroid gland.
A goiter forms when the thyroid gland grows larger than normal, often because the diet lacks enough iodine or because the gland produces too much or too little hormone. Doctors can usually see or feel a goiter as a lump at the front of the neck, and in some regions it was once common enough to be treated as a local disease of mountain valleys. The American spelling is goiter, while goitre is the standard British form of the same word. Treatment ranges from adding iodine to the diet to surgery in severe cases.
