We analyzed 824 patients treated by thyroidectomy in our Institute from January 1995 to December 2000. We observed the presence of cervicomediastinal goiter in 117 patients (14.9%), 92.7% of whom presented euthyroidism. Sternotomies were performed in 15 patients (10 midline and 5 hemi-clamshell). On the basis of our own experience and the reports in the literature, we analyse the diagnostic and surgical approach to the therapy of cervicomediastinal goiter.
