Surgical management of intrathoracic goitres

Abstract: Background Intrathoracic goitres (ITG) often present with compressive symptoms and require specialised care by experienced surgical teams. Most ITG can be accessed by a transcervical approach (TCA) and only between 1 and 15% will require an extracervical approach (ECA). Many controversies exist regarding the clinical presentation, evaluation, selection of cases for ECA, surgical technique and outcomes. This paper reviews the recent literature on the management, outcomes and evidence-based treatment strategies … Show more

“…A retrosternal goiter (RSG) is an extension of an enlarged thyroid gland into the mediastinum first described by Haller in 1749. Since then, the terms substernal, intrathoracic, and mediastinal goiters have been used interchangeably, representing the myriad of nomenclatures that may cause confusion and lack of standardization to describe this condition 4 . It is a relatively common finding, occurring in 1%–20% of all thyroidectomies performed 5 .…”

“…Se ha descrito que hasta un 40% de los pacientes suelen ser asintomáticos, por lo que esta entidad muchas veces es un diagnóstico incidental (2). En otras ocasiones, las molestias secundarias a la compresión de alguna estructura anatómica cercana, como por ejemplo la tráquea o el esófago, son las que llevan a los pacientes a consultar (1,2,5). Es importante realizar una adecuada anamnesis y un examen físico exhaustivo, ya que de esta forma, se puede sospechar alguna anomalía e incluso malignidad (14).…”

“…La historia clínica es indispensable, ya que aproximadamente un 10-35% de los casos de BIT reportan malignidad. Aquellos pacientes con antecedente de irradiación cervical previa o historia familiar de neoplasias tiroideas, poseer un mayor riesgo de presentar lesiones malignas comparado con la población general (5). En cuanto a estudios de laboratorio, es importante realizar una valoración de las pruebas de función tiroidea, incluyendo mediciones de la hormona estimulante de la tiroides, hormonas tiroideas, tiroperoxidasa y anticuerpos antitiroideos, ya que la presencia de una enfermedad autoinmune puede predisponer a complicaciones quirúrgicas (5,12).…”
