Özet
Retrosternal goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland and a progressive mass that grows insidiously in the chest cavity over a long time. Unlike typical retrosternal goiters, ectopic mediastinal goiters are extremely rare occurring in less than 1% of all goiters. This image presents a 51-year-old woman with a posterior mediastinal goiter in which the left thyroid lobe extends into the retrosternal mediastinum and ectopic thyroid tissue in the anterior mediastinum.
