Incidentally detected renal angiomyolipoma with tumour thrombus into the inferior vena cava

Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1997 Apr;31(2):189-91. doi: 10.3109/00365599709070328.

Abstract

A right-renal angiomyolipoma with tumour thrombus into the inferior vena cava was incidentally detected. This is the ninth published case of its type and the second incidental case. Presence of a thrombus does not imply invasive disease, but the tumour then is often bigger than 6 cm and radical surgery is mandatory.
