Abstract
Tracheal curvature in chest X-ray A 67 year old male patient sought medical attention at a primary health centre with symptoms of asthenia, anorexia, progressive weight loss, along with dyspnea upon slight exertion. He did not show symptoms of heart failure, did not present dysphagia or dysphonia and did not have fever.

An ultrasound scan was carried out at the health centre and intrathoracic goitre was visible. No other alterations in the mediastinum were found.
