Overview
In the year 40 BC, Pliny, Vitruvius, and Juvenal were the first who documented the prevalence of goiter in the Alps. In 1500, Leonardo da Vinci was the first who recognized and drew the thyroid gland. In 1913, Henry Plummer, an American physician was the first to describe toxic multinodular goiter or Plummer's disease. In 1947, Cope, Rawson, and McArthur were the first who described the usage of radioactive iodine to demonstrate a "hot" thyroid nodule.
