Large mediastinal mass of heterotopic thyroid tissue: a case report and review of literature

Salvatore. Incidental detection of a mediastinal mass in a asymptomatic patient poses a not easy diagnostic problem. For solid masses or cysts, histology or cytology is often necessary. Although substernal extension of a cervical goiter is common, totally intrathoracic primary thyroidal mass is unus...
