A 20-year-old Indian man presented with a two week history of non-specific abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasonograpy incidentally detected a thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC). Computed tomography revealed the presence of extensive para-aortic lymph node disease as well as a filling defect in the IVC. Scrotal ultrasonography located a heterogeneous intra-testicular tumour in an otherwise palpably-normal testis. The extent of the IVC thrombus was evaluated by the use of magnetic resonance imaging. Inguinal orchidectomy was performed and histology revealed a non-seminomatous germ cell tumour. Combination chemotherapy led to complete resolution of lymph node disease and IVC thrombus. The patient remained well 9 months after diagnosis. The causes of IVC obstruction, role of imaging in investigating IVC obstruction and the management of tumour involvement of the IVC are discussed.
