dc.description.abstractRetrosternal, substernal and intrathoracic goitre is a subgroup of multinodular goitre (MNG). The most commonly recognised and appropriate term is intrathoracic goitre (IG) and for the purpose of this chapter this is the term that is used. IG presents specific challenges in relation to preoperative evaluation and surgical management. Classic indications for surgery include pressure and cosmetic effects, and higher-than-expected rates of incidental malignancy in a MNG with retrosternal and intrathoracic extension.
