Difference between endemic and colloidal goiter?

Hyperthyroid goiter: If the amount of stimulating hormone is excessive, the thyroid will both enlarge and secrete too much thyroxin. The result--hyperthyroidism with a goiter. Graves' disease is the most common form of this disorder. the level of thyroid hormone is High. Euthyroid goiter: The thyroid is the only organ in the body to use iodine. If dietary iodine is slightly inadequate, too little thyroxin will be secreted, and the pituitary will sense the deficiency and produce more TSH. The thyroid gland will enlarge enough to make sufficient thyroxin. This form of goiter does not alter thyroid function in any significant way (colloid goiter). the level of thyroid hormone is Normal.
