| Ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) is a rare cause of mediastinal masses and there are only few case reports of mediastinal ETT reported. Several surgical procedures such as median sternotomy, posterolateral thoracotomy and more recently, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery have been described in the literature for approach to mediastinal masses. This study retrospectively analyses 164 patients who underwent surgical resections for mediastinal masses in our department between 2002 and 2017. In 5 out of 164 patients, mediastinal masses were diagnosed as mediastinal ETT. Surgical procedures, ETT localization, histopathological results, perioperative and postoperative complications were noted. Complete surgical excision were performed in all cases. There were no complications in the perioperative and postoperative period. ETTs are extremely rare causes of mediastinal masses, but they must be considered in the differential diagnosis of all mediastinal masses. Surgical excision must be applied in proper cases, due to the risk of compression of neighboring structures and malignant transformation. |
