Abstract
We present a patient with ectopic intrathoracic thyroid that was removed through a right lateral thoracotomy. Ectopic intrathoracic thyroid is a rare presentation of thyroid disease and comprises about 1% of all mediastinal tumors. Its removal usually necessitates thoracotomy or sternotomy. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.Entities:
