Renal cell carcinoma has the tendency to form venous thrombi. This may involve the renal veins or the inferior vena cava and may extend cephalad/antegrade into the right atrium. We report a patient with renal cell carcinoma who had an intracaval tumor thrombus that had extended into the right spermatic vein. We believe this to be the first description in English literature of a histologically proven renal cell carcinoma thrombus in the spermatic vein.

Renal cell carcinoma – the third on occurrence frequency tumor of urinogenital system and the most widespread renal tumor which makes about 2–3% of malignancies at adults. Doubling of inferior vena cava (IVC) is anomaly in case of which two inphrarenal segments of IVC are defined. Left IVC after lockin in it the left renal vein crosses an aorta in front, connects to the right renal vein and the right IVC. Combination of renal cell carcinoma and doubling IVC is rather seldom. The presented clinical case of a combination of renal cell carcinoma and doubling of IVC has the feature existence at the patient of metachronous multiple primary neoplasms that does necessary more careful inspection of the patient. Also a doubling of renal veins on both sides and a doubling of the left renal artery have been revealed. Possibilities of presurgical non-invasive diagnostics (ultrasonography and computer tomography) of retroperitoneal space vessels anomaly at the patient with transmural localization of kidney tumor allowing to plan and execute difficult surgery – an ex vivo resection of a left kidney in the conditions of pharmacological cold ischemia was shown. Performance of an ex vivo nephrectomy in the conditions of pharmacological cold ischemia allows to dilate indications to organ-preserving treatment of patients with the localized kidney cancer. However long cold ischemia and the subsequent vascular reconstruction demand dynamic observation over kidney’s functional conditions.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus in renal cell carcinoma is a rare entity that suggests heightened biologic behavior and a surgical challenge during the course of treatment. Tumor thrombus can extend from the renal vein to the right atrium. This cephalad extension is classified by four different levels. These levels determine which surgical approach is used, whether a thoracoabdominal incision is needed, and whether a patient needs to be placed in circulatory arrest. Complete surgical resection of the tumor is potentially the only curative treatment, although it supposes a challenge because of operative difficulty and the potential for massive bleeding or tumor pulmonary thromboembolism. IVC tumor thrombus presents with a few differentials that need to be assessed, including bland thrombus, primary IVC leiomyosarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, adrenal cortical carcinoma, primary lung carcinoma, and Wilms tumor. The importance of diagnosing IVC tumor thrombus secondary to renal cell carcinoma is demonstrated as well as a sonographic protocol for assessing IVC tumor thrombus.
