The key is E. Pancoast tumour. [Hoarseness of voice is due to compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, ptosis due to compression of the sympathetic ganglion, palpable mass in right supraclavicular fossa due to involvement of the supraclavicular lymph node. History of smoking and given picture indicates the diagnosis of Pancoast tumour].
