Some of the common causes of Enlarged thyroid gland may include: 1  Iodine deficiency. 2  Hypothyroidism. 3  Hyperthyroidism. 4  Autoimmune thyroid disease. 5  Graves' disease. 6  more causes...Â».
In spite of this the thyroid gland continues to grow and make thyroid hormone. Therefore, Gravesâ disease produces a goiter and hyperthyroidism. Multinodular goiters are another common cause of goiters. Individuals with this disorder have one or more nodules within the gland which cause thyroid enlargement. This is often detected as a nodular feeling gland on physical exam. Patients can present with a single large nodule or with multiple smaller nodules in the gland when first detected (see Thyroid Nodule brochure). Thus, in early stages of a multinodular goiter with many small nodules, the overall size of the thyroid may not be enlarged yet. Unlike the other goiters discussed, the cause of this type of goiter is not well understood. In addition to the common causes of goiter, there are many other less common causes.
