Title: Primary renal well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor extending into the inferior vena cava
Abstract: Primary renal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are exceedingly rare with roughly 100 reported cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a primary renal NET with inferior vena caval tumor thrombus. The uniqueness of this case is highlighted by the degree to which vascular invasion occurred. © 2019
