Abstract

Background: Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC), the second most common type of renal cancer, is a heterogeneous disease with diverse molecular and clinical characteristics. Involvement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a predictor of poor prognosis; however, literature is scarce in this regard.

Case presentation: We present a case with a large PRCC and extension to the IVC without metastasis to nodes or other organs that was successfully treated with radical nephrectomy and resection of the IVC.

Conclusion: It is necessary to pay greater attention to diagnosis and appropriate treatment of PRCC extending to the IVC.
