[Metastatic epiduritis with invasiveness of the left renal vein].
We report a case of epidural metastasis with left renal vein invasion. This nonsymptomatic venous involvement was detected by ultrasonography and confirmed at CT and MR imaging. Such an unusual cause of renal vein tumor thrombus occurred through a lumbar vein which represents one of its usual collateral branches.
