Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an aggressive and lethal tumor that has a high frequency of metastatic spread to unpredictable sites. One quarter of patients have either distant metastases or significant local-regional disease with atypical symptoms on presentation. We present a 41-year-old patient with symptoms of right heart failure and was found to have metastatic renal cell carcinoma with enhancing tumor from left renal vein up to right atrium.
肾细胞癌(RCC)是一种侵袭性且致命的肿瘤,具有高频率转移至不可预测部位的特点。四分之一的患者在初诊时就已出现远处转移或伴有非典型症状的显著局部区域病变。我们报告一名41岁有右心衰竭症状的患者,经检查发现患有转移性肾细胞癌,肿瘤从左肾静脉至右心房呈强化表现。
