Abstract Background Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) with gas in the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare presentation and to our knowledge, this is the first case report in the urologic literature. Case presentation A 35-Year-old obese diabetic Hispanic female presented to the emergency room with a clinical picture of septic shock. Prompt computerized tomography scan revealed EPN with gas throughout the right renal parenchyma and extending to the right renal vein, IVC, and pulmonary artery. She died before surgical intervention Conclusion This case demonstrates that patients presenting with severe EPN have a high mortality risk and providers should acknowledge that septic shock, endogenous air emboli, or a combination of both could result in cardiovascular collapse and sudden death.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer and cancer related deaths worldwide. Metastasis of HCC into the cardiac cavity is mostly caused by direct tumor thrombus invasion through the major hepatic veins and of vena cava inferior with continuous extension into the right cardiac cavity. Right heart metastasis without invasion of inferior vena cava (IVC), which may be caused by haematogenous spread of cancer cells, is rarely reported. We report a case of HCC with IVC and right atrium (RA) thrombus in a patient who presented to us with decompensated cardiac failure. Strikingly, the patient was young and with negative serum HBsAg, and anti-HCV results. Our case highlights a rare presentation of meta­static intracardiac tumor thrombus involving the RA in advanced HCC without any symptoms of cardiac failure, and henceforth, the role of screening echocardiography for all patients with advanced HCC especially with vena caval involvement to rule out intracardiac thrombus.
