ABSTRACT
Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a disease entity with notable signs and symptoms that cannot go unnoticed by clinicians and taken as a clear sign of infiltrative mediastinal involvement, usually caused by neoplasms in this location, however other causes of benign origin can also present with these symptoms. This unusual case highlights the fact that tuberculosis should also be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with symptoms of SVC obstruction. A timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment leads to cure.
