Charles R. Ream M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and Anthony Giardina M.D.2

2 Associate Pathologist, St. Elizabeth Hospital, Elizabeth, New Jersey

This is the fifth case report in the English literature of a superior vena cava aneurysm. The case was complicated by the fact the patient had infectious mononucleosis with a superimposed thrombophlebitis of the aneurysm caused by the infectious mononucleosis. Pulmonary emboli and infarctions resulted from the thrombus and complications of the process resulted in her death. In the four previous cases no mural thrombi were described, nor did these patients experience pulmonary emboli or pulmonary infarction.
