We report a case of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis with vena caval tumor thrombus. To our knowledge only 14 cases of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis protruding into the vena cava have been reported. The literature regarding these cases is reviewed, and the differential diagnosis of this tumor from renal cell carcinoma is discussed.
