The thyroid gland is located just below the larynx (voice box) or "Adam's apple" in the front of the neck. In some thyroid diseases, the thyroid gland enlarges (goiter), which can be felt and seen as a bump in the neck. Sometimes, the first sensation with thyroid enlargement is a feeling of fullness or difficulty swallowing.
