Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
We describe a case of long standing goiter with retropharyngeal space mass. FNAC established the diagnosis of retropharyngeal mass as extension of the goiter into the retropharyngeal space. Long standing large goiter usually grows downwards through the thoracic inlet. This case highlights the rare possibility of extension of the goiter into the retropharyngeal space and presenting clinically as retropharyngeal mass.
