Sequestered substernal goiter.

P W Ladenson, G C Vineyard, G S Pinkus

    Archives of Internal Medicine
    |May 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare case of a benign colloid adenoma presented as an anterior mediastinal mass. This highlights the importance of considering sequestered thyroid goiter in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal masses.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Anterior mediastinal masses typically raise suspicion for neoplasms like lymphoma, thymoma, or teratoma.
    • Thyroid tissue in the mediastinum is uncommon, and its presentation as a distinct mass requires careful evaluation.

    Observation:

    • A young woman presented with a "cold" anterior mediastinal mass despite a subtly nodular thyroid gland.
    • The mass was clinically distinct and did not appear to be of thyroidal origin based on initial assessment.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination revealed the mediastinal mass to be a benign colloid adenoma, a form of sequestered thyroid goiter.
    • This diagnosis challenges the typical differential for such presentations.

    Implications:

    • The case underscores the necessity of including sequestered benign nodular goiter in the differential diagnosis of anterior mediastinal masses.
    • Clinical indicators like a nodular thyroid, palpable neck mass, and a family history of goiter, alongside imaging findings, can suggest this rare condition.
