Renal Pelvic Urothelial Carcinoma With Vena Caval Thrombus Mimicking Renal Cell Carcinoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 61-year-old man presented with a right renal mass with a vena caval thrombus on computed tomography that was consistent with renal cell carcinoma. The results of routine laboratory examinations and urinalysis were within normal limits. Preoperative planning was critical owing to the presence of the vena caval thrombus. A radical nephrectomy, vena caval thrombectomy, and regional lymphadenectomy were done. The pathologic report was consistent with a high-grade, invasive urothelial carcinoma, with sarcomatoid differentiation involving the renal vein and inferior vena cava (Stage IV, T4N0M0). Thus, this was a rare case of upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy with the methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatinum regimen is scheduled. To our knowledge, this is the first report in Korea of upper tract urothelial carcinoma of the sarcomatoid type with a vena caval thrombus.

PURPOSE: We present an Australian perspective on the use of flank incision as a surgical strategy in the management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with vena cava thrombus. METHOD: A retrospective analysis of all patients who had a flank incision for RCC with caval thrombus performed at our tertiary centre, from June 1997 to June 2011 was performed.
