Recent literature suggests that pulmonary embolus secondary to renal cell carcinoma may by more common than previously suspected. Renal tumors are known for their ability to metastasize early, often before the primary lesion is apparent. A patient with renal cell carcinoma and having massive pulmonary tumor embolus is presented. Attention was called to the occult tumor by the identification of clear cell carcinoma in the pulmonary embolic material. Pulmonary embolectomy and surgical extirpation of the primary tumor resulted in long-term survival.
近期文献表明，继发于肾细胞癌的肺栓塞可能比之前怀疑的更为常见。肾肿瘤以其早期转移的能力而闻名，通常在原发灶明显之前就发生转移。本文报告了一名患有肾细胞癌并伴有大量肺肿瘤栓子的患者。通过在肺栓塞物质中鉴定出透明细胞癌，使隐匿性肿瘤得以被发现。肺栓子切除术和原发肿瘤的手术切除带来了长期生存。
