It is a medical emergency and most often manifests in patients with a malignant disease process within the thorax. A patient with SVCS requires immediate diagnostic evaluation and therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PRESENTATION OF CASE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 33-years-old woman presented with complaints of dyspnoea and chest pain. Computer tomography revealed a large mass in the anterior mediastinum. This mass compressed surrounding structures. Stenting was indicated for early symptoms of SVCS. The diagnosis of Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma (HL) was confirmed with biopsy. The patient\u2019s stage II HL has been subsequently treated with six cycles of chemotherapy with doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD), followed by radiotherapy. Presently she is doing well.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although lymphomas are a common cause of SVCS but almost always SVCS is caused by non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma (NHL). HL despite its common presentation with mediastinal lymphadenopathy rarely causes SVCS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lymphomas are a common cause of SVCS in young age. HL may present as SVCS. Pathological confirmation of diagnosis should be done before initiating therapy while dealing with a case of SVCS. SVC stenting is effective and has few complications in patients with SVCS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2015.06.017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,27]],"date-time":"2015-06-27T20:45:19Z","timestamp":1435437919000},"page":"84-87","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Endovascular stenting in malignant obstruction of superior vena cava"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Julian","family":"Hamzik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juraj","family":"Chudej","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anton","family":"Dzian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juraj","family":"Sokol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Kubisz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R3-24-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2893","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.128.4.2893","article-title":"Tumors of the mediastinum","volume":"128","author":"Duwe","year":"2005","journal-title":"Chest"},{"key":"R4-24-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"653","DOI":"10.4187\/respcare.00947","article-title":"Superior vena cava syndrome in thoracic malignancies","volume":"56","author":"Lepper","year":"2011","journal-title":"Respir.
