Thyroid goitre usually presents as a mid-line lump in the neck with or without compressive symptoms. More commonly, the goitre can extend inferiorly into the mediastinum resulting in a retrosternal goitre. We present an unusual case of goiterous enlargement of the thyroid gland into the retropharyngeal space presenting as a retropharyngeal mass.
甲状腺肿通常表现为颈部中线肿块,可伴有或不伴有压迫症状。更常见的是,甲状腺肿可向下延伸至纵隔,导致胸骨后甲状腺肿。我们报告一例罕见病例,甲状腺肿性增大进入咽后间隙,表现为咽后肿块。
