Abstract

We report a case of bilateral renal cell carcinoma with extension into the inferior vena cava associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. A 52-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for further examination of bilateral renal masses which were found on abdominal ultrasound examination. The diagnosis was confirmed with renal angiography, abdominal computed tomography (CT), abdominal magnetic resonance-CT (MRI), cavography and head MRI. Right adjunctive nephrectomy and removal of the tumor thrombus were performed. She has been treated with interferon-alpha after the operation. The analysis of her DNA by using single strand conformational polymorphism revealed a VHL gene abnormality.
