Goiter primarily affects the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck. An enlargement of the thyroid can lead to compression of nearby structures, potentially impacting the trachea (causing breathing difficulties) and the esophagus (leading to swallowing difficulties). In severe cases, it can also affect the surrounding blood vessels and nerves. However, the primary organ involved remains the thyroid itself.
