Résumé

Empress Dowager Cixi, the supreme ruler of China's Qing Dynasty, along with Imperial Concubine Jin, may have suffered from goiter. Our suspicions were aroused by two interesting historical photographs. Herein, we provide a medical interpretation of these historical images in an attempt to present the cases of these two historical figures.
