Abstract

The posterior mediastinum is an atypical localization for thyroid tumors. The incidence of mediastinal goi- ter varies from 0.16% to 3.3% in thyroid tumors. Symptoms related to tumor size and its relationship with surrounding tissues may appear. Neuropathic pain is an extremely rare finding caused by an ectop- ic thyroid. We present here a 42-year-old male pa- tient suffering from neuropathic pain in his back. Thoracic computed tomography and magnetic reso- nance imaging showed a smooth-bordered mass approximately 8x10 cm in size located in the paraver- tebral sulcus and compressing both the trachea and the esophagus. The tumor was diagnosed as ectopic thyroid and completely resected through a thoracot- omy, with relief of pain postoperatively.

Özet

Posterior mediasten, ektopik guatr için atipik bir loka- lizasyondur. Mediastinal guatr görülme sıklığı tiroid tümörleri arasında %0,16 ila %3,3 arasındadır. Semptomlar tümör boyutu ve çevre dokularla olan bağlantılarına göre değişmektedir. Ektopik tiroide bağlı nöropatik ağrı son derece nadir bir bulgudur. Burada, 42 yaşında, sırtında nöropatik ağrı şikâyeti olan bir hastayı sunuyoruz. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomog- rafi ve manyetik rezonansla görüntülemede düzgün sınırlı, yaklaşık 8x10 cm boyutlarında, paravertebral sulkusta, trakea ve özofagusa bası yapan kitle sap- tandı. Tümör ektopik tiroid olarak teşhis edildi ve torakotomi ile tamamen çıkarıldı ve postoperatif dönemde nöropatik ağrı şikâyeti gözlenmedi.
