Head & Neck, 1989AbstractThis report describes the operative experience in 72 patients with substernal goiters treated over the past 5.5 years. Even though the incidence of multinodular goiter has decreased in the United States due to the routine use of iodized salt, we continue to see a large number of patients with massive goiters, predominantly from Carribean ...

Surgical Management of Substernal Goiter
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1994Seventeen cases of large substernal goiter are reviewed. The commonest clinical features were frequent upper respiratory tract infections, dyspnea and a cervical mass. Five of the patients had previous thyroidectomy.

Gastric Pull-Through Imitating Substernal Goiter
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1994A 39-year-old man presented with a substernal mass of possible thyroidal cause. A Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate thyroid scan suggested functional substernal thyroid tissue. An 1-123 thyroid scan demonstrated a normal thyroid. The pertechnetate accumulation was assumed to be uptake in a gastric pull-through previously performed for esophageal carcinoma ...

In a series of 363 patients operated for goiter, 60 were retrosternal (16.5%). The female incidence although less than in cervical goiters remains predominant (2,5:1). Most patients are in older age group, 68% being above 40 years. The majority of goiters are multinodular and of long duration.

Sequestered substernal goiter.
Archives of internal medicine, 1984A young woman with a normally located and only subtly nodular thyroid gland in the neck was found to have a clinically distinct and radioisotopically "cold" anterior mediastinal mass, which proved to be a benign colloid adenoma. While this constellation of findings usually suggests the presence of a nonthyroidal neoplasm, eg, lymphoma, thymoma, or ...

Sequestered Substernal Goiter-Reply
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1983In Reply. —Dr Rudavsky argues that neither 123 I nor technetium Tc 99m are appropriate radionuclides for the imaging of substernal thyroid tissue. Although the γ-emissions of these isotopes are, indeed, less energetic than those of 131 I, we do not agree that they are incapable of penetrating the bones of the anterior thorax.

Management of Patients with Substernal Goiters
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1995The presence of a substernal goiter is an indication for thyroidectomy, even in asymptomatic patients, because there is no other effective method of preventing growth of the goiter. Both primary and secondary substernal goiters usually exhibit slow but steady growth, which leads to tracheal, esophageal, vascular, and neurologic compression syndromes ...
