ABSTRACT
The association between cancer and deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism has been recognized by most clinicians. Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, female reproductive organs, breast, colon, lung, and prostate have been found to be associated with the highest risk of deep vein thrombosis. However, the isolated deep vein thrombosis is a rare phenomenon in renal cell carcinoma. Only two cases of deep vein thrombosis in renal cell carcinoma were reported in the literature. The tumor thrombi of renal cell carcinoma is found in renal vein and inferior vena cava, with the incidence of 20-49% and 5-10%, respectively. We report two cases of renal cell carcinoma which are associated with the deep vein thrombosis due to the obstruction of inferior vena cava by the tumor thrombi.
