Primary mediastinal ectopic goiter (PMG) is defined as the presence of thyroid tissue in the mediastinum without having a continuity between the cervical thyroid and the mediastinal goiter. A fifty-seven yearold man admitted to our clinic suffering from dyspnea, chest pain, shortness of breath, and dysphagia for almost two months. Thorax computed tomography revealed a mass of 12 cm in the posterior mediastinum, compressing the trachea and esophagus. The mass is resected completely via a right thoracotomy.
