various pathological conditions that can affect the gland, such as goiter, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. However, gangrenous thyroid is not mentioned as a distinct pathology.
It's important to note that the thyroid gland can become inflamed and swollen due to various causes, such as autoimmune disorders (e.g. Hashimoto's thyroiditis) or infection. In rare cases, this inflammation can progress to necrosis and abscess formation, which can be life-threatening and require surgical intervention. However, this is a highly uncommon pathology of the thyroid gland, and it is not referred to as "gangrenous thyroid."
