Superior vena cava syndrome caused by chemotherapy-induced fibrosis.
2002
We report a case of a 51-year old man with small cell lung cancer who developed superior vena cava syndrome due to obstruction of the superior vena cava at the junction of the brachiocephalic vein by a fibrotic band, 2 months after completing six cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposid. Superior vena cava syndrome caused by chemotherapy-induced pulmonary fibrosis should be kept in mind during follow-up.
