Superior vena cava syndrome due to infradiaphragmatic tumor metastasis was detected in a 70-year-old man. A tumor attached to the right atrial wall was excised and subsequent transurethral resection of a bladder tumor revealed high-grade transitional cell carcinoma. The disease progressed and the patient died 6 months later.
