Preoperative imaging examination of a 72-year-old male patient. A Enhanced CT of the urinary system showed irregular soft tissue density of the left kidney in the range of 7.8 × 3.6 × 6.6 cm, and the enhanced scan showed uneven and obvious enhancement. Left renal cell carcinoma was considered for diagnosis. The tumor involved renal pelvis, calyces and perirenal fascia. B Soft tissue density was seen in the left renal vein and inferior vena cava, and uneven enhancement was showed on enhanced scan. The diagnosis considered tumor thrombus in the left renal vein and inferior vena cava. C Inferior vena cava enhanced magnetic resonance indicated left renal tumor. D Irregular filling defects were observed in the left renal vein and inferior vena cava, and the length of tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava was 3.7 cm
