Case report. Renal cell carcinoma vertebral body metastasis extending into the azygos venous system causing superior vena cava obstruction
Br J Radiol.

Abstract
We describe a case of superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction caused by extension of tumour thrombus from a vertebral body metastasis through the azygos system to the SVC. The primary tumour was a renal cell carcinoma.
