Case report: neovascularity of inferior vena cava tumour thrombus from renal cell carcinoma--CT and MRI appearance.
Renal cell carcinoma is a highly vascular tumour that frequently invades vascular structures. Neovascularization within an intravascular mass has occasionally been demonstrated on CT and angiography. We report a case with MR evidence of neovascularity in the inferior vena cava secondary to a renal cell carcinoma.
