title: Renal cell carcinoma presenting as Budd-Chiari syndrome.
abstract: Herein a case of renal cell carcinoma presenting as Budd-Chiari syndrome is reported. Ten percent of patients with renal cell carcinoma have shown inferior vena cava invasion. However, Budd-Chiari syndrome is a relatively rare condition where the hepatic venous outflow into the inferior vena cava is blocked by tumor thrombus, and the prognosis is very poor.
