Abstract:
Progressive growth of a thrombosed aneurysm in the venous neck vessels represents an important differential diagnosis in solitary cervical swelling. We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with a 4-month history of left cervical, supraclavicular swelling. CT showed a cystic tumour with a maximum diameter of 4.8 cm at the left jugulobrachial venous arch. Surgical removal revealed a firm elastic tumour, which arose from the subclavian vein. Histological analysis showed a thrombosed venous vessel.

Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.
