A goiter can either be a simple goiter where the whole thyroid is bigger than normal or a multinodular goiter where there are multiple nodules.Multinodular goiters can be either a toxic multinodular goiter (i.e. makes too much thyroid hormone and causes hyperthyroidism.ee Hyperthyroidism Â» .) or non-toxic (i.e. does not make too much thyroid hormone).
