Intra‐thoracic thyroid rests: an updated classification and case series
It is important to recognize thyroid rests that are completely disconnected from the thyroid gland. Identification of these rests requires tailored pre-operative work-up, as excision requires access to the thoracic cavity for vascular control. Incomplete excision may lead to development or persistence of the "forgotten goitre" among other pathologies.
