Goiter, Intrathoracic

An enlarged THYROID GLAND with at least 50% of the gland situated behind the STERNUM. It is an unusual presentation of an intrathoracic goiter. Substernal goiters frequently cause compression on the TRACHEA leading to deviation, narrowing, and respiratory symptoms.

Research Excerpts

Overview

ExcerptReference
"Substernal goiter is not known to be reported previously as one of the causes of a perfusion defect in lung scanning."( Balon, HR; Meier, DA, 1990)
"Intrathoracic goiter is a rare cause of superior vena cava syndrome."( Hershey, CO; McVeigh, RC; Miller, RP, 1981)

Treatment

ExcerptReference
"In primary as well as secondary intrathoracic goiter, the therapy of choice is total/near-total thyroidectomy and subsequent levothyroxine substitution."( Bonnema, SJ; Hegedüs, L, 2010)
