Abstract
We report an extremely rare case of vincristine-induced fibrotic obstruction of the upper superior vena cava (SVC) in a 42-year-old female. She recovered from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma 5 years back and presented with SVC syndrome. Our case is the first description of vascular toxicity of vincristine with SVC fibrotic obstruction.
