Jonge vrouw met struma 1928

"Jonge vrouw met struma" (Young Woman with Goiter) is a 1928 photograph taken by the Hospitaal Batak Instituut. The black-and-white image depicts a young woman, identified as "RETA, ± 30 jaar" (RETA, approximately 30 years old), from "LAU PERAHER bij LAU BALANG" (LAU PERAHER near LAU BALANG). The image, likely a medical photograph, focuses on the woman's profile and neck, showcasing the goiter that the caption details as "beginnende cystiene degeneratie van isthmus en rechter kwab. Al ruim 15 jaar struma van links" (beginning cystic degeneration of the isthmus and right lobe. Goiter for more than 15 years on the left). The photograph provides a glimpse into the medical practice of the time, particularly in the context of goiter diagnosis and treatment.
