Posterior mediastinal extension is uncommon, comprising only 10-15% of all mediastinal goiters. Thyroid masses within mediastinum may present with range of symptoms from being asymptomatic to severe compressive symptoms according to size and location.

The standard surgical approach has typically involved ligation of the anomalous artery in combination with lobectomy or segmentectomy.

Case Description: We present three cases of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung, all successfully treated with thoracoscopic anomalous arterial ligation alone.
