Intravascular fasciitis is a rare entity characterized by the proliferation of myofibroblasts and giant cells in relation to small and medium-sized blood vessels. It characterized by a rapid growth and its morphology can simulate other malignant neoplastic processes of more aggressive behavior such as sarcomas. It belongs to a group of benign lesions that affect the subcutaneous tissue and fascia (sometimes to the muscle) sharing characteristics similar to proliferative fasciitis, nodular fasciitis and proliferative myositis. It can sometimes be confused with lesions typical of fibromatosis even. We report a case of a patient with a symptomatic retroperitoneal mass who underwent surgery. The intraoperative findings showed a tumor originating in the inferior vena cava. The histopathological study revealed an intravascular fasciitis.

Sarcomatoid variant of urothelial carcinoma (SVUC) of the renal pelvis is a rare entity. To the best of our knowledge, around 25 cases of this neoplasm have been reported in the literature to date, most of which were of high stage. The inferior vena cava tumour thrombus, which is a hallmark of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), may rarely be found in urothelial carcinoma of renal pelvis. In this report, a case of SVUC associated with tumour extension to inferior vena cava is documented. This association has been encountered in only one previously reported case. The possibility of urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis should therefore be included in the differential diagnosis of tumour thrombus of the inferior vena cava.
