Retrosternal thyroid accounts for a significant percentage of anterior mediastinal masses, but has been described very rarely as the cause of superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. Most cases of SVC syndrome occur as a complication of malignancy. The authors report the case of a patient with few respiratory symptoms, mild upper airway obstruction, and SVC syndrome caused by a benign retrosternal multinodular goiter.
胸骨后甲状腺占前纵隔肿块的相当比例，但作为上腔静脉（SVC）综合征的病因却鲜有报道。大多数SVC综合征病例是恶性肿瘤的并发症。作者报告了一例患者，其因良性胸骨后多结节性甲状腺肿导致呼吸症状轻微、上气道轻度梗阻和SVC综合征。
