Retrosternal Goiter Associated With Chylothorax

Carmen Delgado M.D.1; Manuel Martin M.D.1; and Fernando de la Portilla M.D.1

1 From the Department of General Surgery, Universitary Valme Hospital, Sevilla, Spain

We describe a case of chylothorax in a female patient with a large retrosternal goiter. After subtotal thyroidectomy by means of a Kocher cervicotomy, the chylothorax disappeared in 48 h. At present, 2 years after surgical removal, the patient remains asymptomatic, without recurrent pleural chylous effusion. Until now, to our knowledge, only one such case had been reported.

Key Words: chylothorax • goiter • retroesternal tumor
