Mediastinal Goiter

ABSTRACT The differential diagnosis of a middle mediastinal mass is fairly broad. Though relatively rare, the diagnosis of primary intrathoracic goiter is a clinically important consideration that should not be overlooked. The nature of this clinical entity and its diagnostic implications are discussed. Relevant radiographic imaging is evaluated demonstrating the key findings. Indications for intervening and treatment options are reviewed. Specifically, the presence of a growing substernal goiter in an otherwise fit patient is generally an indication for surgical resection. The nature of a primary intrathoracic goiter usually obviates the more common transcervical approach since by definition the mediastinal goiter is discontinuous with the cervical thyroid gland. Other transthoracic approaches are therefore necessary.

The presence of ectopic thyroid gland is a rare entity. The lingual thyroid is the most frequent ectopy, predominating in women. This glandular tissue is capable of suffering all the pathologies that can affect the normotopic gland, being able to be symptomatic or asymptomatic. We present a case of lingual thyroid in a previously thyroidectomized patient who consulted for dyspnea and dysphagia in the Head and Neck Surgery Unit of the Otolaryngology Service of the Central Hospital of the Institute of Social Prevision, Asuncion, Paraguay. The patient received hormone replacement therapy, showing normal functional examination. Semiology allowed to observe a bulging of the base of the tongue. The fibroscopy showed a tongue-based tumor about 3 cm in diameter, which could be correctly evaluated with computed tomography. Suspicion of a lingual thyroid was performed with a scintigram demonstrating uptake in the oral cavity floor. Tumor excision was performed through a suprahyoid pharyngotomy, following a prophylactic tracheostomy. The Pathologic Anatomy report confirmed the diagnosis of ectopic colloid goitre.

Radioiodine Therapy

Radioiodine in the thyroid gland after a therapy dose of 131I was measured serially in 7 patients without Carbimazole, and in 11 patients starting Carbimazole 60 mg daily fourteen days after the therapy dose. Effective half-life for radioiodine in the gland initially 5.53±1.08 days fell to 4.26±1.12 days (p < 0.01) during Carbimazole, and returned to 5.83±1.21 days (NS) after stopping the drug. The radiation dose to the thyroid from a given therapy dose of 131I followed by Carbimazole was calculated to be 97% of that without Carbimazole when the drug was started after 14 days, and 90% and 75% when the drug was started after 7 days and 1 day respectively.
