A non-small cell lung cancer presenting as a superior sulcus tumor in an azygos lobe has not yet been reported. We present such a case in a 69-year-old man undergoing complete resection after induction chemoradiotherapy and discuss the specific location of a superior sulcus tumor and the aberrant anatomy of an azygos lobe.
