2 Figure Panel (A) shows the chest radiograph on presentation with a paratracheal mass (arrow) pressing against the right main bronchus at its takeoff from the trachea; Panel (B) shows the absence of this mass on a radiograph performed 1 year ago; Panel (C) is a coronal section of the contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) scan of the chest demonstrating a dilated azygos vein abutting the right main bronchus (white arrow). Partial situs inversus also is noted with a significant portion of the liver on the left side of the abdomen (black arrow). Panel (D) is a sagittal section of the CT scan re-demonstrating the dilated azygos vein draining into the superior vena cava (white arrow). The hepatic veins drain directly into the right atrium (black arrow). The American Journal of Medicine  , e7-e8DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
