Goiter Fibrous

Fibrous goiter is a rare and relatively little-studied benign disease of the thyroid gland. It is characterized by the proliferation of connective tissue elements, which leads to the replacement of functioning follicles and a decrease in their volume. The development of goiter is also facilitated by the fact that fibrovascular formations may already have foci of hyperplasia or benign tumors

Fibrous goiter is a disease of the thyroid gland in which its tissue is replaced by connective tissue and nodules form. This can lead to various symptoms, such as an increase in the size of the thyroid gland, a feeling of a lump in the throat, hoarseness, fatigue, metabolic disorders and others.

The disease occurs due to the growth of part of the thyroid tissue in the wrong places. Fibrous changes can occur as a result of disturbances in the metabolism of thyroid hormones and other hormonal pathologies of the body. Goiter Fibrosis
