Abstract

A review of the principal clinical classifications of endemic goiter was carried out and the existing normative divergences emphasized. The importance of the clinical diagnosis of incipient hypertrophy of the thyroid gland on the epidemiologic surveillance of endemic goiter was considered. A methodologic adaptation for the clinical diagnosis of endemic goiter was suggested.
