A case of right renal cell carcinoma involving the vena cava inferior was reported. A 65 year-old man was admitted to our clinic because of abdominal mass. Vena cavography revealed a large tumor thrombus extending to the suprarenal vena cava and existence of double vena cava inferior. Right nephrectomy and vena cava resection were performed. Post operative course was uneventful and renal insufficiency did not occur. The rationale for aggressive surgical treatment to renal cell carcinoma involving the vena caves inferior was discussed and double vena cava inferior was reviewed.
