AbstractThe management of a substernal goiter is a problem which has challenged surgeons since its first description in 1749. While the overall incidence in the United States has decreased with the routine use of iodized salt, the development of large multinodular substernal goiters in the rest of the world is still common.

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1983
To the Editor. —The article by Ladenson et al in the MayArchives(1983; 143:1015-1017) concerning a sequestered substernal goiter notes that the substernal component failed to concentrate iodine 123 or Tc 99m. Neither of these radionuclides are appropriate imaging agents for substernal thyroid tissue.

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.
