Primary mediastinal seminoma is a rare tumor usually with nonspecific symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea and hoarseness, but superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is an extremely uncommon syndrome. We report a 25-year-old man who presented with superior vena cava syndrome for 1 month and a 1-week history of retrosternal chest pain. Thorax computerized tomography demonstrated a soft tissue mass in the anterior mediastinum with stippled calcifications compressing the superior vena cava and other major vessels.
