ABSTRACT Malignancy of the adrenal cortex is uncommon but aggressive and grows rapidly and metastasizes to the liver, lungs, kidneys, and bones. Very rarely, tumor thrombus may extend through via adrenal vein to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and even may extend up to the right atrium. Such a scenario is rare and possesses a real surgical challenge. We present a case of right adrenocortical tumor with IVC thrombus extending until the right atrium. The patient successfully underwent right adrenalectomy with nephrectomy and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and removal of its intravascular extension with the assistance of cardiopulmonary bypass and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.

Hepatocellular carcinoma usually metastasizes to regional lymph nodes, lung, and bones but can rarely invade the inferior vena cava with intravascular extension to the right atrium. We present the case of a 75-year-old man who was admitted for generalized oedema and was found to have advanced HCC with invasion of the inferior vena cava and endovascular extension to the right atrium. In contrast to the great majority of hepatocellular carcinoma, which usually develops on the basis of liver cirrhosis due to identifiable risk factors, none of those factors were present in our patient.
