    Abstract:
    A case of duplication of the inferior vena cava (IVC) with left renal cell carcinoma is presented, and the clinical and radiological significance is discussed. Although computed tomographic (CT) scanning, inferior venacavography and renal venography revealed a sufficient amount of anatomical information, an accidental rupture to the inferior vena cava occurred during the procedure. The patient subsequently required 7 units of blood, and suffered acute hepatitis two months following the blood transfusion. However, no recurrences of renal cell carcinoma and hepatitis have been observed four year after the procedure.
