Large goiters are less common in the developing world due to the use of iodized salt. However, these are seen occasionally. Herein, we report a case of very large goiter identified in a cadaver. This case is also of interest due to the significant lateral displacement of the common carotid arteries (CCA) and the midline shift of the trachea. This case and the salient literature addressing this topic have been discussed.
由于使用碘盐,大甲状腺肿在发展中国家不太常见。然而,偶尔也会见到。在此,我们报告一例在尸体中发现的非常大的甲状腺肿病例。由于颈总动脉(CCA)明显向外侧移位和气管中线移位,该病例也很有趣。本文讨论了该病例以及关于这一主题的重要文献。
