Key result
Complete surgical resection of left renal cell carcinoma with IVC thrombus prevents recurrence at two years.
Why the study?
Left renal cell carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava is rare compared to right renal cell carcinoma cases with inferior vena cava involvement.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Highlights a rare presentation of left renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus.
Hypothesis-generating for surgical resection in rare left RCC with IVC thrombus; larger studies needed before practice change.
A case of Left renal cell carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava in a 79-years-old woman is presented.Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCCs) is the most common malignancy of the kidney.Because of shorter right renal vein, the right renal cell carcinoma is more common, the cases of left renal cell carcinoma merging inferior vena cava cancer embolus were rare compared to those in the right.Here, we reported a case is with left renal cell carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava.

Changqin J iang (2015) conducted a case report in Left renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated on Recurrence and metastasis. Surgical resection of a rare left renal cell carcinoma with an inferior vena cava tumor thrombus was successful, with no recurrence or metastasis observed after a two-year follow-up.
