  • Title: Renal cell carcinoma: presenting with congestive hepatosplenomegaly and rare haematological complications.
    Author: Lalani AP, Asgaonkar DS, Yadav JN, Dalal D, Borges NE, Deshpande DV.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 1990 Feb; 38(2):179-80. PubMed ID: 2380139.
    Abstract:
    We report here a case of right-sided renal cell carcinoma who presented with hypertension and multi-organ metastases. Haematological manifestations noted were erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis and leukaemoid reaction. Of these leukemoid reaction and thrombocytosis are very rare. The patient had hepatosplenomegaly which was found to be congestive in origin due to the pressure of the tumour on the hepatic vein and the inferior vena cava. These rare features make it an unusual case.
