| Summary: Authors are reporting 
      occurrence of multinodular euthyroid goiter in several members of the same 
      family. Eight of 22 investigated persons (two in first generation, six in 
      second generation, 13 in third generation and one in the forth 
      generation), have expressed goitrous thyroid gland. Three goitrous members 
      in second generation have six children – 4 with goiter. Other three 
      members of second generation, without goiter, have 7 children, all without 
      goiter. From group of eight patients with goiter, five had thyroid surgery 
      and PH findings were predominantly - nodular macrofollicular goiter. In 
      two members (mother and son) in enlarged thyroid gland was found papillary 
      carcinoma. On preoperative examination all patients were functionally 
      euthyroid with scintigraphic findings of hypo functional nodular 
      degeneration. The genetic testing is in the prospect. Key words: goiter, multinodular, familiar expression Note:
