title: [Renal carcinoma extending to the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. A case report].
abstract: A case of a 66-year-old male hospitalised due to heart failure is presented. Echocardiography showed an abnormal structure in the right atrium resembling myxoma or thrombus. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a right renal tumor. Finally, magnetic resonance imaging showed that the abnormal structure in the right atrium was a neoplasmatic plug continuously extending from renal carcinoma. The renal tumor and it's metastatic plug were successfully removed during surgery.
