“…The differences between the tumor thrombus seen in cases of TCC of the renal pelvis and those seen in cases of renal cell carcinoma are not clear. This is because of the small number of cases of TCC that have been reported, with only 17 other cases having been reported in the literature 1–14 (Table 1). The mean age of the 18 patients, including our case, was 62.1 years (range: 24–81 years) at the time of presentation, with a male to female ratio of 11:7.…”

Transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis forming tumor thrombus in the vena cava

A 47-year-old man presented with a left renal incidentaloma without hematuria. The tumor was complicated by inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus extending from Th 11 to L 4 . A temporary IVC filter was introduced prior to surgery. A midline incision was used to perform a left radical nephrectomy and en bloc lymphadenectomy with excision of the inferior vena cava from above the level of the left renal vein to 2.5 cm above the confluence of the common iliac veins. The pathological diagnosis was invasive transitional cell carcinoma. The tumor thrombus consisted of transitional cell carcinoma that histologically invaded the walls of the IVC. He died of cancer 17 months after the operation for the liver metastases. This is the 18th case report of such a presentation in the literature.

“…Extension of renal cell carcinomas into the vena cava is uncommon, with a reported incidence of 5% to .4% of renal cell carcinomas [2,3]. Extension of transitional cell carcinomas into the vena cava is very rare, with only 17 cases reported in the literature [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Our two cases are among the few reported cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with a tumor thrombus involving the IVC.…”

Of all primary malignant renal tumors, 10% to 15% originate from the renal pelvis, and 90% to 92% of these tumors are transitional cell carcinomas. Nonetheless, renal pelvis transitional cell carcinoma extending into the inferior vena cava is very rare. We report one confirmed case and one highly suspicious case of renal pelvis transitional cell carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava. Both of our patients died within 6 months of initial diagnosis, indicating the poor prognosis and advanced stage of transitional cell carcinoma with an inferior vena cava thrombus. Transitional cell carcinoma should be considered in patients with obstruction of the renal vein and the inferior vena cava.

ZusammenfassungVorgestellt wird der seltene Fall eines Urothelkarzinoms des Nierenbeckens mit einem Tumorzapfen in der Vena cava inferior. Der Tumor imponierte präoperativ wie ein fortgeschrittenes Nierenzellkarzinom mit Tumorthrombus der unteren Hohlvene. Der Verlauf war foudroyant mit atypischer Lokalisation von Metastasen und multiplen thrombotischen Verschlüssen großer Arterien. Bisher wurden in der Literatur erst 9 Fälle eines Nierenbeckenkarzinoms mit Tumorthrombus der Vena cava beschrieben.Nierenbeckenkarzinome mit einem Tumorzapfen in der Nierenvene und darüber hinaus sind eine Rarität. Während Nierenzellkarzinome in ca. 5-10% der Fälle einen Tumorthrombus aufweisen, der sich intravasal in der V cava bis in den rechten Vorhof erstrecken kann (9), wurden in der Literatur erst 9 Fälle eines Urothelkarzinoms des Nierenbeckens mit Tumorzapfen in der Vena cava beschrieben (1,4,6,7,8,10,15,20). FallberichtBei einer 54jährigen, adipösen (1,60 m, 80 kg) Patientin war als Zufallsbefund im Rahmen einer Beinphlebographie bei Varikosis eine stumme Niere rechts festgestellt worden. Anamnestisch bestanden lediglich seit einem Monat rechtsseitige Rückenschmerzen, jedoch keine Makrohämaturie. Im Rahmen der klinischen Befunderhebung war bei weichen, adipösen Bauchdecken keine Resistenz palpabel, beide Nierenlager waren klopfund druckschmerzfrei.
