A 67-year-old man received left radical nephrectomy for left renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (clear cell carcinoma, G2, pT3bN0M0). After 9 months, he presented with an acute onset of left extremity edema. A computed tomographic (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging reveal recurrent renal cell carcinoma in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the left renal fossa, thrombus in the left external vein and acute pulmonary embolism. We performed treatment with sunitinib for 5 months after anticoagulant therapy for 3 weeks. A new CT scan showed disappearance of RCC in the IVC and reduction in the size of RCC in the renal fossa. Only 11 cases are reported as recurrent RCC in the IVC. We report the first case of recurrent intracaval RCC in which sunitinib treatment was effective.
