“…Cases of upper tract urothelial carcinoma with extension to the vena cava are rare. A case of a renal pelvic carcinoma of the transitional histotype with vena caval invasion was reported previously with a focus on the challenges of IVC resection and replacement with a human cadaveric graft [ 3 ]. Upper tract urothelial carcinoma, including tumors of the ureter and renal pelvis, is an uncommon genitourinary malignancy that accounts for 5% of urothelial cancers and less than 10% of renal tumors.…”

“…Upper tract urothelial carcinoma, including tumors of the ureter and renal pelvis, is an uncommon genitourinary malignancy that accounts for 5% of urothelial cancers and less than 10% of renal tumors. Owing to the infrequent presentation of this carcinoma, trends in disease incidence, associated demographic factors, and predictors of cancer-related and overall survival outcomes are limited [ 3 ]. Urothelial carcinomas of the renal pelvis also more often appear to be of a higher stage than their urinary bladder counterparts [ 4 ].…”

A 61-year-old man presented with a right renal mass with a vena caval thrombus on computed tomography that was consistent with renal cell carcinoma. The results of routine laboratory examinations and urinalysis were within normal limits. Preoperative planning was critical owing to the presence of the vena caval thrombus. A radical nephrectomy, vena caval thrombectomy, and regional lymphadenectomy were done. The pathologic report was consistent with a high-grade, invasive urothelial carcinoma, with sarcomatoid differentiation involving the renal vein and inferior vena cava (Stage IV, T4N0M0). Thus, this was a rare case of upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy with the methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatinum regimen is scheduled. To our knowledge, this is the first report in Korea of upper tract urothelial carcinoma of the sarcomatoid type with a vena caval thrombus.

“…Imaging characteristics include a filling defect of the renal collecting system at CT urography, lack of renal contour distortion, and a filling defect in the IVC and/or renal vein. Aggressive surgical intervention is required, including nephroureterectomy (39,41). Invasion of the IVC wall is more common in transitional cell carcinoma than in renal cell carcinoma and may precipitate a need for segmental IVC resection.…”

The inferior vena cava (IVC) is an essential but often overlooked structure at abdominal imaging. It is associated with a wide variety of congenital and pathologic processes and can be a source of vital information for referring clinicians. Initial evaluation of the IVC is most likely to occur at computed tomography performed for another indication. Many routine abdominal imaging protocols may result in suboptimal evaluation of the IVC; however, techniques to assist in specific evaluation of the IVC can be used. In this article, the authors review the spectrum of IVC variants and pathologic processes and the relevant findings from magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, sonography, and positron emission tomography. Embryologic development of the IVC and examples of congenital IVC variants, such as absence, duplication, left-sided location, azygous or hemiazygous continuation, and web formation, are described. The authors detail IVC involvement in Wilms tumor, leiomyosarcoma, adrenal cortical carcinoma, testicular carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and other neoplasms, as well as postsurgical, traumatic, and infectious entities (including filter malposition, mesocaval shunt, and septic thrombophlebitis). The implications of these entities for patient treatment and instances in which specific details should be included in the dictated radiology report are highlighted. Furthermore, the common pitfalls of IVC imaging are discussed. The information provided in this review will allow radiologists to detect and accurately characterize IVC abnormalities to guide clinical decision making and improve patient care.
