No. A goiter is a thickening/enlargement of the tyroid gland located in the front of the troat, just under your "adams apple". A goiter can get quite large and very obvious. A large neck can be a hereditary trait. If you are really concerned, talk to your physician about having tyroid studies done, specifically TSH( tyroid stimulating hormone), TS1, TS2, and TS3, which are the thyroid stimilating hormones.

No a goiter is a medical condition caused by a lack of iodine in the body. A large neck means you have a lot of fat or muscle around your neck.

Leviticus 18:22 'Do not have sex with a man as you would with a woman. It is an abomination. Why would a God of love say such a thing? Did you read the answers to Peach's question? Like it or not, they were smug and hateful. Whether anyone cares to admit it or not, Christianity plays a big part in our laws. It's Christian groups that organize protests against gay marriage and abortion clinics, raise a fuss over stem-cell research, etc. EDIT: Just let gays get married. It's so little to ask for, but it means so much.

No, sometimes it just means you have a large neck. It is however something your physician should address.

If the mass is around the adams apple it could be.
