Goitre (a swelling of the thyroid gland) normally occurs when the body lacks iodine. The gland swells in order to try to extract more iodine from the bloodstream. This happens in upland areas well away from the sea. In the UK, it's known as Derbyshire neck. In mainland Europe it's known as Swiss neck.
