An elderly man presented with clinical features of superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome restricted to the right side. Detailed evaluation suggested the diagnosis of unilateral SVC syndrome due to adenocarcinoma (presumably) from lung. With this case, we discuss the clinical presentation and causes of this rare clinical entity. Also, unilateral signs of SVC syndrome warrant a thorough clinical evaluation as it can be a presenting feature of a spectrum of diseases ranging from benign to malignant etiologies.
一名老年男性出现仅局限于右侧的上腔静脉（SVC）综合征的临床特征。详细评估提示诊断为可能源自肺部腺癌导致的单侧SVC综合征。通过该病例，我们讨论了这种罕见临床病症的临床表现及病因。此外，SVC综合征的单侧体征需要进行全面的临床评估，因为它可能是从良性到恶性病因等一系列疾病的首发特征。
