Family history is very important in the evaluation of the patient with goiter, therefore it is.

While the above is true, Goiter is caused by a lack of Iodine in the diet and therefore it is NOT inherited, it is an environmental disease.

A goiter is not a condition or disease, but a symptom of a condition or disease which may be either hereditary (rarely) or acquired.
