Intrathoracic goiter when encountered can be treated by thyroidectomy using cervical incision, only occasionally requiring extra cervical approach. We are reporting one such case in a patient with pituitary macroadenoma with extension of the adenomatous goiter into the posterior mediastinum. It was removed through the cervical collar incision using a vessel sealing device. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications during the procedure. The need for extra cervical incision should be decided on a case-to-case basis to avoid the increased morbidity associated with sternotomy and lateral thoracotomy incision.

Thoracotomy approach is indicated for a complete and safe posterior mediastinal goitre removal. A 68 years old male was hospitalized due to a right mediastinal mass found in a chest X-ray and confirmed by computed tomography. The patient had undergone total cervical thyroidectomy thirty years ago. A computed tomography (CT) guided percutaneous needle biopsy of the mass revealed thyroid tissue. Subsequently, the mass was completely resected through a right posterolateral thoracotomy. The histopathology confirmed a large mediastinal goitre with no signs of malignancy. The patient had an uncomplicated recovery. We present a relatively rare case of a successful resection of a posterior mediastinal goitre, occurring thirty years post-total cervical thyroidectomy. We advocate lateral thoracotomy to achieve a broad operative field and enhance surgical safety.
