ABSTRACT
A 64-year-old man was admitted for gross hematuria. Preoperative study revealed right renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava(IVC) tumor thrombus. Right radical nephrectomy was performed, and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest(DHCA) with retrograde cerebral perfusion(RCP) was used for extraction of tumor thrombus in the IVC. The thrombus originated from the right kidney, which extended the orifice of the gonadal vein in the left renal vein laterally, the hepatic vein superiorly, and 3 cm below the right renal vein inferiorly. The thrombus was removed completely without caval wall injury under DHCA with RCP, and the postoperative course was uneventful. He received immunotherapy with interferon, and followed up without any surgical problem.

Renal lipomas are among the rearest of renal tumors. They probably originate from fat cells within renal capsule or parenchyma. The tumors are confined within renal capsule, in contrast to the perirenal lipomas, which are extracapsular. We recently encountered a case of renal lipoma with bladder stone and diabetes mellitus in 61 years old male patient.
