[Surgery of endotheracic struma].
Most cases of endothoracic struma should be considered as systemic illnesses that require thoracic surgery. Concerning cervicoendothoracic borderline cases, the same point of view is advocated, e.g., struma endothoracica falsa and vera alliata. With reference to 38 cases of true and 34 cases of false endothoracic struma, the authors summarize and discuss: 1) their experiences in diagnosis, 2) various routes of access, 3) special thoracic closure techniques, and 4) specific surgical methods on the tumor itself.
