  • Title: Large adrenocortical carcinoma extending into the inferior vena cava and right atrium.
    Author: Hisham AN, Sarojah A, Zanariah H.
    Journal: Asian J Surg; 2003 Jan; 26(1):40-2. PubMed ID: 12527494.
    Abstract:
    A case of large adrenocortical carcinoma extending into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is reported. Computed tomography showed a large mass displacing the left kidney inferiorly with an intravascular tumour thrombus extending into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. Radical surgery under hypothermia and cardiopulmonary bypass was performed and the tumour mass, together with the tumour thrombus, was successfully removed. The presence of intravascular tumour extension alone should not be a contraindication to radical surgical therapy, as it is the best hope for prolonged survival.
