Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Mediastinal goiters typically reside in the anterior mediastinum, posterior locations are uncommon.
  • Retrosternal goiters are the most frequent presentation of ectopic thyroid tissue in the chest.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a goiter situated in the right posterior mediastinum, specifically retrotracheal, is presented.
  • This specific location poses unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Findings:

  • The retrotracheal goiter was successfully excised.
  • A combined cervico-partial sternotomy and right thoracotomy approach facilitated the complex resection.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of surgical approaches for rare posterior mediastinal masses.
  • Highlights the feasibility of combined thoracic and cervical surgical techniques for complex goiter excisions.
