- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 66-year-old woman with a 10-day history of progressive shortness of breath and 10-pound weight loss. Physical examination and computed tomography (CT) showed a 6.8 x 8.8 x 7.5 renal mass with tumour thrombus that extends in the inferior vena cava. The patient underewent radical nephrectomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, and caval thrombectomy to remove the obstruction caused by Budd-Chiari syndrome.
