We report the case of 46-years-old man presented with superior Vena Cava syndrome. Histopathological diagnosis was non-small cell lung cancer with computed tomography-guided needle biopsy of lung.

Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy showed metastasis of stomach secondary to primary squamous cell lung cancer and additionally lack of another distant site metastasis indicated that gastric region was the single site of tumor spread.
