A goiter - GOY'-der (AmE) (Latin gutteria, struma), also called a bronchocele, is a swelling in the thyroid gland, which can lead to a swelling of the neck or larynx.
One Sunday dinner we were talking and the subject randomly turned to goiters. (Don't ask how...I couldn't tell you if I remembered....) I had never heard of a goiter before but found the word facinating. Try saying it over and over and it becomes really funny.
Maybe it's just me. 
A tree goiter.
I was sad to hear that before we put iodine in salt, many people had to live their lives with great big goiters protruding from their neck.Certain people I know remember people who had goiters.
Just thought I would share some random thoughts about goiters.

Did you laugh the entire time you were posting this? Or did you just smile and giggle now and then? I sure hope you don't know the poor person with the goiter picture.
Yes, I laughed the whole time! And no, I don't know the poor person. I had to really restrain myself from putting up 10 different pictures of human goiters.
That picture is Gross!!! However, it does look like the tree:)
That is hilarious! Mom you are the only person I know who would put this on their blog! Laura is right, though...it does look like the tree!
