Substernal Goiter: From Definitions to Treatment. [PDF]
The enlargement of multinodular goiter into the mediastinum through the thoracic inlet or ectopic thyroid tissues directly in the mediastinum is defined as Substernal Goiter (SG). However, there is no clear consensus in the literature on this definition. There are many definitions for SG in the literature.

A Large Substernal Goiter that Extended to Both Sides of the Thorax [PDF]
Most substernal goiters can be managed through the transcervical approach, but a sternotomy is required in some cases. This report is about a large substernal goiter, which was resected via a transcervical and full sternotomy approach.

Opportunities and challenges of radiofrequency ablation for substernal goiter: a case report [PDF]
Substernal goiter (SG) refers to an enlargement of the thyroid gland that extends below the sternal notch or clavicle. While most cases are benign, a few may be malignant. Surgical resection is the standard treatment for SGs that cause clinical symptoms.

Diving retrosternal goiter and the dilemma of sternotomy: indications, predictors and surgical considerations [PDF]
A goiter is defined as an enlargement of the thyroid gland, typically resulting in a doubling in size or a weight exceeding 40 g. It affects approximately 5% of the global population. Diving, or substernal, goiters occur when more than 50% of the thyroid

Surgical approach to the substernal goiter. [PDF]
Surgery for substernal goiters can be technically demanding. Extensive mediastinal extension brings the thyroid gland into close quarters with vital intrathoracic structures. Proper preoperative planning is required to determine the potential need for an extracervical approach.
