A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is not cancer.

The main symptom is a swollen thyroid gland. The size may range from a single small nodule to a large neck lump.

The swollen thyroid can put pressure on the windpipe and esophagus, which can lead to:

There may be neck vein swelling and dizziness when the arms are raised above the head.
