Renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus can be misdiagnosed as an inferior vena cava thrombosis if not evaluated carefully with imaging. We describe a case of renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus that was initially misdiagnosed as an inferior vena cava thrombosis due to a possible hypercoagulable state. After 7 months of anticoagulation therapy with no improvement, a right radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy was performed without cardiopulmonary bypass, and a diagnosis of papillary renal cell carcinoma with a level-IIId tumor thrombus was confirmed with no presence of a bland thrombus. We demonstrate the complexity of identifying and treating renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus and the importance of differentiating between a malignant thrombus and a bland thrombus.
肾细胞癌合并下腔静脉瘤栓如果不通过影像学仔细评估,可能会被误诊为下腔静脉血栓形成。我们描述了一例肾细胞癌合并下腔静脉瘤栓的病例,该病例最初因可能存在的高凝状态而被误诊为下腔静脉血栓形成。在进行了7个月的抗凝治疗且无改善后,在未进行体外循环的情况下实施了右肾根治性切除术和血栓切除术,最终确诊为伴有Ⅲd级瘤栓的乳头状肾细胞癌,不存在单纯性血栓。我们展示了识别和治疗伴有静脉瘤栓的肾细胞癌的复杂性,以及区分恶性血栓和单纯性血栓的重要性。
