Abstract

Intrathoracic goiters consist of two types: the primary and secondary type. Primary intrathoracic goiters are very rare. We report here on a case that was resected with using the thoracoscopic assist technique. The transthoracic or transsternal approach is necessary for primary goiters to remove them completely without complications.

종격동내 갑상샘종은 일차성과 이차성 종양으로 구성되어 있다. 그 중 일차성 갑상샘종은 아주 드물다. 일차성 종양을 제거하기 위해서는 흉부로 접근해야 하며 저자들은 성공적으로 흉강경하에서 완전 절제를 시행하여 다수의 논문과 더불어 보고하는 바이다.
