Abstract
Intrathoracic (mediastinal) goiter constitutes almost 5% of all resected mediastinal masses and is commonly found in the pretracheal space, as a retrosternal extension of the thyroid goiter in the neck [1]. A thyroid mass may occasionally extend behind the trachea and esophagus, presenting as a posterior mediastinal mass which poses a diagnostic dilemma [2, 3]. We present a case of an intrathoracic goitre presenting as a posterior mediastinal mass in an asymptomatic adult without any noticeable thyroid swelling in the neck region.
