A case of mediastinal goiter in a 51-year-old female is reported. She demonstrated an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray but there were no clinical symptoms. Tumors were recognized in the isthmus of the thyroid and mediastinum on CT scan and MRI. These two tumors were resected via standard neck skin incision and sternotomy. At surgery, we found no communication between the two tumors. Following Rives’ classification, the mediastinal tumor in this case was diagnosed as aberrant mediastinal goiter. Pathological diagnoses of both tumors were adenomatous goiter.
