| Abstract: |
| Intrathoracic goiter (IG) is commonly located in the anterior mediastinum. Here, we report the case of
a 54-year-old Chinese woman with successful removal of an intrathoracic goiter and improvement of
dyspnea by a right posterolateral thoracotomy approach. Conclusion: Posterior mediastinal thyroid goiter
with mediastinal compressive symptoms is an indication for surgery. |
