From the Departments of Paediatrics* and Pathology,† University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. 13S’~’I~UC;~hIC~’~I r~E’ the superior vena cava is relatively uncommon in early life except when it complicates ventriculocavat shunts. L21tmay occasionally be associated with childhood m~~Iiastinal malignancies, particularly lymphosarcoma. and Hodgkin’s disease.3.4 In adults, compression of the superior vena cava by bronchogenic carcinoma is relatively common.5-7 The present report describes superior vena cava occlusion complicating adrenal t~~urQblastorz~a in an adolescent girl.
