Comment

Evaluation of mediastinal mass is a clinical challenge. Most commonly encountered pathologies include thymoma, thyroid neoplasm, teratoma, thoracic aortic aneurysms, and lymphoma [1]. Majority of mediastinal masses originating from thyroid are anterior mediastinal goiter representing direct contiguous growth of goiter into the superior mediastinum. However, a large middle mediastinal mass as a result of extension from a cervical papillary thyroid carcinoma is rather unusual. When diagnosed, complete surgical resection should be performed if technically possible followed by iodine therapy, if curative intent is planned [1, 2].
