Toxic multinodular goiter image - 30447

Description

This 3D model demonstrates the pathological features of a toxic multinodular goiter. It illustrates an enlarged thyroid gland with multiple nodules, some of which produce excessive thyroid hormones autonomously. The model captures the irregular glandular structure, emphasizing the morphological difference from diffuse goiter or single nodules. Learners can use this representation to understand how chronic gland stimulation leads to functional and structural changes, offering an anatomical basis for hyperthyroidism in multinodular goiter cases.
