We report an unusual case of testicular tumor presenting as thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. However, in contrast to a previous report, thrombosis in this patient was not caused by compression of the vena cava by neoplasm metastases. In our patient, we postulate that tumor invaded the vena cava and that thrombosis was exacerbated by a hypercoagulable state induced by the tumor.
