Abstract

A 65-year old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of superior vena cava syndrome. Chest X-ray, CT of the thorax, phlebography and transesophageal echocardiography revealed a mediastinal tumor, which filled superior vena cava spreading to the right atrium and sinking to the right ventricle. The patient underwent incomplete surgical resection of the tumor that showed to be thymoma according to histopathologic analysis. In addition, the patient received chemotherapy during the following six months.
