Ectopic mediastinal thyroid is a rare condition. Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (U-VATS) offers a feasible and safe minimally invasive approach for its complete surgical resection and diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Endocrinology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Ectopic thyroid tissue in the mediastinum is a rare entity, accounting for approximately 1% of mediastinal tumors.
  • It can be mistaken for other mediastinal masses or metastatic deposits.
  • While often asymptomatic, large masses can cause compressive symptoms necessitating investigation.
