The traditional treatment of a growing nodular non-toxic goitre has for many years been surgical resection or levothyroxine suppressive treatment. During recent years, several studies have reported promising results of 131I treatment in terms of thyroid size reduction (1–6). This review outlines the different treatment modalities of non-toxic nodular goitre with special emphasis on 131I treatment. By the term nodular goitre we include glands with solitary or multiple thyroid nodules with uptake on a scintiscan (hot nodules).
