Non-Familial Synchronous Bilateral Renal Cell Carcinoma with Bilateral Synchronous Renal Vein Extension and Inferior Vena Cava Thrombus

Abstract

Bilateral renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus extension into the renal vein and/or inferior vena cava - clinical stage T3a+ - is rare. The majority of these cases arise due to a genetic predisposition. We present a case report of a 47-year-old male with bilateral, synchronous renal cell carcinoma with bilateral renal vein and inferior vena cava tumor thrombi with no identifiable familial predisposition.
