Abstract
Background: Thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone, thyroxine. Goiter is an indefinite term applied to the enlargement of thyroid gland. The normal thyroid gland in non-goitrous state weighs 25–35 g. Thyroid gland disorders are common endocrine disorders in the world.

Aims and Objectives: This is a retrospective study done to know the age and gender distribution of goiter and various pathological conditions in goiter. This study showed that the incidence is common in 3rd–5th decade of life and nodular and colloid goiter are the common causes of goiter followed by follicular adenoma and papillary carcinoma.

Materials and Methods: The data were collected from cytology registers of Pathology Department of FIMS Hospital, Image Diagnostics and Seetha Diagnostics, Kadapa, during the 2-year period from January 2021 to December 2022. The data collected as above were systematically analyzed and reviewed for age and sex distribution, clinical presentation, and cytological diagnosis.

Results: Majority of the patients were female accounting for 324 cases (94.18%) and 20 patients (5.81%) were male. The maximum incidence is in young females between 31 and 40 years age group (24.70%) followed by 41–50 years age group (23.83%) and then in 21–30 years age group (22.38%). All together, the overall maximum incidence is seen in females between 21 and 50 years age group (70.91%). The most common pathological disease is nodular goiter followed by colloid nodule, both being iodine deficiency goiters.

Conclusion: The study showed the thyroid disorders are more common in females. The non-neoplastic lesions constitute the predominant cause for goiter followed by benign neoplasms and then malignant neoplasms.

Key words: Goiter; Non-neoplastic; Neoplastic; Follicular adenoma; Papillary Carcinoma; Kadapa
