Intrathoracic goiter should undergo surgical or ablative management if compressive symptoms of the airway and cervical or thoracic vessels are present. The large size of the tumor along with the presentation after thyroidectomy and the seeming location in the right upper lobe made this particular case striking. Specially in the elderly, multidisciplinary perioperative management is key for a successful recovery.
