Abstract
Goiter is defined as hypertrophy of the thyroid tissue. Occasionally, it may show intrathoracic elongation, affecting mediastinal structures such as the superior vena cava and the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Dyspnea, dysphagia and cough are the most characteristic symptoms at presentation. Given its slow and progressive growth, this disease could go unnoticed; nevertheless the diagnosis can be easily made by imaging methods. Imaging allows not only the assessment of size and extension of the mass and its relation with adjacent structures, but also, planification of the surgical approach, which constitutes the definite treatment of this entity.
