Abstract
The uncommon case of a transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with a tumor thrombus extending into the inferior vena cava is presen ted. Preoperatively, the tumor showed all attributes of an advanced re nal cell carcinoma with vena caval tumor thrombus. The disease progres sed rapidly with atypically localized metastases and multiple thrombot ic occlusions of the main arteries. In the literature, 9 cases of a ca rcinoma of the renal pelvis with a vena caval tumor thrombus have been reported so far.
