AN ANGIOGRAPHIC SIGN DEMONSTRATING EXTENSION OF RENAL CARCINOMA INTO THE RENAL VEIN AND VENA CAVA

Six cases of renal carcinoma with massive extension into the renal vein and inferior vena cava are reported. In 4 cases the right kidney was involved and in 2, the left.

A striated vascular pattern was noted on renal angiography in 5 of the 6 cases. The pattern was particularly well seen when epinephrine had been used as a part of the angiographic study. It is believed that this striated vessel pattern represents vascular supply of tumor extension confined to the renal vein and vena cava.
