Chronic progressive thyroiditis, or Hashimoto's disease, is a disorder of the thyroid gland where antibodies are produced by the body to work against the thyroid gland.
It's a fairly common autoimmune condition mostly (but not always) affecting women, and it causes the thyroid to become enlarged (goitre).
There have been a number of posts about the condition here on the site, and a search has brought up the following :

I also did a Google search for you and found heaps of information.
