We report a case of interrupted inferior vena cava with azygos continuation diagnosed as a isolated finding in a patient with lung carcinoma. Findings of the unopacified CT scan initially simulated a paraesophageal lymphadenopathy. The contrast - enhanced spiral CT scan showed a dilated azygos vein in the absence of definable inferior vena cava.
