ABSTRACT

A goiter is considered thoracic when more than 50% of the thyroid gland is in the mediastinum, under the level of the upper thoracic inlet. It is an infrequent disease, which represents about 10% of the mediastinal masses. Two cases are presented of patients who underwent endothoracic goiter surgery in the Hospital Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima of Cienfuegos. The surgical treatment applied was right hemithyroidectomy, with isthmectomy and resection of the mediastinic tumor extension. It is an infrequent entity, reason for which it is considered a publication of interest.
