Abstract

Tracheal stenosis due to huge adenomatous goiter

Highlights

Some thyroid malignant tumors and thyroid malignant lymphoma have been reported to cause tracheal stenosis [1,2]
We reviewed the CT findings of thyroid benign tumors with dyspnea and found that tumors occupied the space between the posterior wall of trachea and esophagus leading to tracheal stenosis as in our case
We experienced a case of a huge benign tumor with dyspnea due to tracheal stenosis and performed total thyroidectomy

Summary

Conclusions

We reviewed the CT findings of thyroid benign tumors with dyspnea and found that tumors occupied the space between the posterior wall of trachea and esophagus leading to tracheal stenosis as in our case.
