RESUMO
Out of the 220 cases of goiters operated in the clinic 19 were partially or totally intra-thoracic, as follows: --totally intra-thoracic: 7 cases; --partially intra-thoracic: 12 cases, of which: mediastino-cervical: 2 cases; cervico-mediastinal: 10 cases. Five of the totally intra-thoracic goiters were in the anterior mediastinum, while two were in the posterior mediastinum, in a retro-oesophageal position. Three of the 19 intra-thoracic goiters were malignant. The symptomatology, the diagnosis and especially the therapeutical attitude are discussed.
