World statistics show that 90–95% of patients with kidney tumors are diagnosed with malignant neoplasms. Benign processes are much less common. Kidney cancer is the 10th most common malignant neoplasm worldwide. Mostly elderly men suffer from this disease. The tendency of renal cell carcinoma to spread in the form of a tumor thrombus along the renal and further along the inferior vena cava is one of the clinical characteristics of this cancer, noted with a frequency between 4 and 14%. This clinical feature of renal cell carcinoma is illustrated by the presented clinical case.
