Fourteen patients underwent surgery for benign intra-thoracic goitre many presented with respiratory distress due to tracheal compression, and in some desperately ill patients inoperable cancer of the lung was diagnosed. The plain chest X-ray revealed the goitre and once the true diagnosis was suggested, prompt surgical intervention followed.
14例患者接受了胸内良性甲状腺肿手术，许多患者因气管受压出现呼吸窘迫，部分病情严重的患者被诊断为无法手术的肺癌。胸部X线平片显示了甲状腺肿，一旦提出确切诊断，便立即进行手术干预。
