Goiter is enlargement of the thyroid gland due to any cause. There are two major classifications of goiter: toxic and non-toxic. 96% of goiters are caused by an iodine deficiency. The problem occurs, at least, in 5% of the population. 

"A simple goiter occurs when the thyroid gland is unable to meet the metabolic demands of the body through sufficient hormone production. The thyroid gland compensates by enlarging, which usually overcomes mild deficiencies of thyroid hormone."
