Abstract

"Forgotten" goitre is an extremely rare disease. It is a mediastinic thyroid mass found after total thyroidectomy. In this paper we report a case of "forgotten" goitre and review the various diagnostic and therapeutic problems posed by the condition. A number of possible solutions that can be implemented for this disease are identified.
