Abstract
Goiter is the most common endocrine pathology in the world [2]. Its medical treatment is based on hormone therapy, iodotherapy and its surgical treatment is based on thyroidectomy. Familial goiter appeared to be more common in the gotrigenic regions of Europe, rarer in North America. In Africa, particularly in Mali, there have been few studies on familial goiter. The purpose of this study was to report 4 cases of goiter in the same siblings with a history of goiter in the mother and paternal grandmother to review the literature.
