Abstract
The authors report a case of multinodular goiter in both cervical thyroid and aberrant intrathoracic thyroid tissue which was associated with thyrotoxicosis after the use of radiographic contrast material. The role of correlative imaging in assessment of cervical and anterior mediastinal masses and the phenomenon of iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis are also discussed.
