The substernal goitre is defined as a goitre for which >50% of the mass is located below the superior orifice of the thorax, surgical resection remains the reference treatment, the approach used is the cervicotomy, which often allows to extract the mediastinal portion of the plunging goitre, and we report a rare case of a huge cancerous plunging goitre whose complete resection required the enlargement of the cervicotomy in right hemi-clamshell, for the carcinological, vascular and recurrent control.
