title: Renal vein thrombosis misdiagnosed as a renal cell carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava.
abstract: A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with a right renal carcinoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava, and underwent a radical nephrectomy. The entire specimen was examined by step-wise sectioning and found to be a thrombus with extensive hemosiderin deposits and recanalization which contained no malignant cells.
