Abstract :

Thyroid disorders presenting as swellings constitute a significant number of cases encountered among the patients in our country and attending various OPDs . Although thyroid is a superficial gland easily accessible to physical examination, it needs various biochemical and radiological investigations to confirm the diagnosis.
