Intrathoracic goiter

Thyroid tumors are most common in endocrine gland tumors and are easily found in the neck. The intrathoracic goiter is a simple goiter behind the sternum or mediastinum or a thyroid tumor. Because it is located behind the sternum or in the mediastinum, it is not easy to find, which brings certain difficulties to diagnosis and treatment. Intrathoracic goiter is the same as cervical goiter. It is a multiple nodular non-toxic benign thyroid tumor. Sometimes benign and malignant tumors, and the relationship between tumors and nodular hyperplasia are difficult to determine before surgery, even in pathological tissue. It is also very controversial in school.
