  • Title: Rare case of renal cell carcinoma with double inferior vena cava with venous thrombosis.
    Author: Kumar S, Panigrahy B, Ravimohan SM, Pandya S, Mandal AK, Singh SK.
    Journal: Urology; 2008 Aug; 72(2):461.e7-10. PubMed ID: 18314164.
    Abstract:
    Double inferior vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly. Recognition of such venous anomalies is important in the evaluation and surgical treatment of retroperitoneal disease. Newer radiological modalities such as three-dimensional reconstruction of spiral computed tomography help to define such anomalies and avoid significant morbidity during surgical exploration. We present a case of renal cell carcinoma involving left kidney with tumor thrombus extending into both venae cavae, treated by left radical nephrectomy with vena caval thrombectomy.
