Diagnostic imaging in mediastinal thyroid tumor.

W J Shih, S R Cho, M Purcell

    Clinical Nuclear Medicine

    Summary

    Diagnostic imaging for mediastinal goiters varied in presentation and severity. Chest radiography effectively localized masses, while angiography and computed tomography aided diagnosis, especially for non-radioiodine avid goiters.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Mediastinal goiters present with diverse clinical symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic to severe dyspnea.
    • Surgical intervention was performed on six of nine patients, revealing follicular adenomas and nodular goiters.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of various imaging modalities for mediastinal goiters.
    • To correlate imaging findings with clinical presentation and surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of diagnostic imaging (chest radiography, esophagography, I-131 scintigraphy, angiography, CT) in nine patients with mediastinal goiters.
    • Correlation of imaging results with clinical manifestations and histopathological findings post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Chest radiography localized goiter masses in 7/9 patients.
    • Esophagography showed esophageal compression in 4/4 patients.
    • I-131 scintigraphy differentiated functional (3/7) from nonfunctional (4/7) thyroid status.
    • Angiography confirmed intrathoracic goiter by demonstrating continuity with the cervical thyroid gland and mass characteristics.
    • Computed tomography is increasingly vital for diagnosing mediastinal goiters, particularly those not avid for radioiodine.

    Conclusions:

    • Chest radiography is valuable for initial goiter localization.
    • Angiography and computed tomography play crucial roles in diagnosing intrathoracic goiters, especially when I-131 scintigraphy is inconclusive.
    • Multimodality imaging is essential for comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis of mediastinal goiters.
