Abstract

A case of right renal adenocarcinoma in a 36-year-old female is reported. The tumour involved the IVC by direct extension and infiltration. Cavography showed complete obstruction of the IVC by thrombus. A right nephrectomy was performed. The obstructed IVC was partially excised and reconstructed using a patch of PTFE artificial graft.
