“…Dilatation of the azygos and hemiazygos veins producing abnormal mediastinal or, less often, paraspinal shadows on chest radiographs is well documented and has been reported in portal hypertension with collateral circulation (Leigh et al, 1954;Campbell and Baruch, 1960;Blendis et al, 1968) and congenital and acquired abnormalities of both superior and inferior caval systems (Shuford and Weens, 1958;Bogedain and Carpathios, 1962;Steinberg, 1962;Petersen, 1965;Castellino et al, 1968;Floyd and Nelson, 1976) or it may be idiopathic (Sayer et al, 1954;Schmidt, 1954;Magbitang et al, 1960;Hoffman et al, 1961;Stern and Bloomberg, 1961;Walker, 1963). This dilatation, however, is not usually great, and as it is often accompanied by clinical or radiological evidence of the underlying condition it rarely creates a diagnostic problem.…”

A mediastinal tumour was simulated by gross dilatation of the azygos vein resulting from compression by enlarged hilar lymph nodes at the point where it crossed the right main bronchus to enter the superior vena cava. This cause of dilatation of the azygos vein has not previously been reported.Published reports are reviewed and attention drawn to the large proportion of patients (11/19) with this condition who had needless thoracotomies. The possibility of making a diagnosis by means of clinical observation and simple radiological techniques and thus avoiding surgical intervention is discussed.

“…Mediastinal pseudotumours due to aneurysmal dilatation of the azygos vein (Sayer, Parmley, and Morris, 1954), hemiazygos vein (Campbell and Baruch, 1960;Leigh, Abbott, Rogers, and Gay, 1954), and paraoesophageal collaterals (Jonsson and Rian, 1970) have also been reported.…”

(Campbell and Baruch, 1960;Leigh, Abbott, Rogers, and Gay, 1954), and paraoesophageal collaterals (Jonsson and Rian, 1970) have also been reported.We have reviewed 304 consecutive splenic venograms performed for suspected portal hypertension. Oesophageal collaterals had been filled on 145 occasions. In seven of these patients a plain chest radiograph shows a lower posterior mediastinal mass, which corresponds to dilated portosystemic collaterals on the splenic venogram. These seven patients form the subject of this report. Other patients with large oesophageal or paraoesophageal collaterals have been excluded when no mass is seen on the plain radiograph, either because the veins overlie the vertebral column in the anterior projection, or because they cannot be distinguished from the shadow of the descending aorta or the mediastinal pleural reflection.
