Abstract
A rare case of fat thrombus in the inferior vena cava originating from an angiomyolipoma is reported. Diagnostic imaging including ultrasono graphy, CT, MRI, and cavography was performed preoperatively. MRI allo wed the most complete preoperative staging because of specific fatty s ignal intensity and good assessment of renal vein involvement.
