Mediastinum is an uncommon location for ectopic goiter. Primary ectopic mediastinal goiter has been reported to present mostly with compressive symptoms. We report a case of a 62-year-old man with history of Crohn's disease, who presented with symptoms of myasthenia gravis and was found to have an anterior mediastinal mass. The mass was resected completely with successful outcome. On histopathologic examination this mass turned out to be colloid goiter. This is an extremely rare presentation of a primary ectopic mediastinal goiter.
纵隔是异位甲状腺肿的罕见部位。据报道，原发性纵隔异位甲状腺肿大多表现为压迫症状。我们报告一例62岁男性，有克罗恩病病史，出现重症肌无力症状，发现前纵隔有一肿块。该肿块被完整切除，结果良好。组织病理学检查显示该肿块为胶样甲状腺肿。这是原发性纵隔异位甲状腺肿极为罕见的表现。
