RESUMO
A 61-year-old man presented with dysphagia, weight loss and shortness of breath. On examination, he had reduced lung sounds on the right, and obvious neck vein distention. Chest X-ray raised a suspicion of lung tumor with possible superior vena cava syndrome. Subsequent CT scan of chest confirmed the presence of markedly dilated and tortuous esophagus (sigmoid megaesophagus) extending to the right hemithorax and pressing on the trachea. The patient was referred for surgery.
