Thoracic duct aneurysm is a rare entity presenting as a stable, asymptomatic, left supraclavicular swelling. We report an unusual case of a thoracic duct aneurysm in a 71-year-old woman presenting as a recurrent swelling syndrome of the left supraclavicular area associated with sporadic episodes of sharp left subcostal pain. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
