Posterior mediastinal goiter.
Because of their tendency to progressively enlarge with compression of adjacent structures, as well as the small chance of malignancy, most intrathoracic goiters should be excised surgically. Most anterior substernal goiters and some ipsilateral posterior mediastinal goiters can be removed safely through a cervical incision. Large posterior mediastinal goiters, contralateral retrotracheal or re...

Postoperative CT confirmed a no...
متن کاملMediastinal goiter diagnosed by functional imaging
A 63-year-old asymptomatic woman with cured Hodgkin diseases presented for restaging. The chest computed tomography showed a mass at the right side of the upper mediastinum. The benignity and the origin of the tissue were unknown. First, we performed a bronchoscopy-guided biopsy but without success. In the next step, we initiated radionuclide imaging with technetium-99m pertechnetate (Tc-99m) a...
متن کاملGiant Cervical Goiter With Posterior Mediastinal Extension
Most cervico-mediastinal goiters are situated in the anterior mediastinal compartment, but according to the literature, 10-15 percent of them are located in the posterior mediastinum. Although most anterior mediastinal goiters can be removed by using the transcervical approach, cervico-mediastinal goiters in the posterior mediastinal may require additional extracervical incisions. We report the...
