goiter is an abnormal growth of thyroid cells that forms a mass. A bilobed goiter is when a nodule is present in both lobes of the thyroid. Although most cases of bilobed goiter are benign, a small percentage of thyroid nodules contain cancer cells.

Papillary thyroid cancer is the most common type of thyroid cancer. It is sometimes only discovered when papillary thyroid cancer has metastasized, spread outside the thyroid, and the prognosis is often poor.

Bilobed goiter is a term used to describe any abnormal growth that forms a solid mass in both lobes of the thyroid gland. In any case where a thyroid nodule with diverse characteristics is detected, diagnosis and treatment always require active, early intervention to prevent possible complications.
