title: Dual phase helical CT of a primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the right renal vein.
abstract: A case is reported of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the right renal vein involving the ipsilateral kidney which showed early enhancement on dual phase helical CT. The correct diagnosis of a primary tumour of the renal vein involving the kidney was not made but in retrospect could have been achieved pre-operatively by considering several CT features.
