Inferior Vena Cava Tumor Thrombus in the Emergency Department: A Case Report.
Introduction: The inferior vena cava (IVC) drains a significant portion of the lower body. Pathologies associated with the IVC can present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present a case of IVC tumor thrombus in the emergency department.
Case report: A 76-year-old male with symptoms of volume overload was evaluated, leading to the diagnosis of IVC mass likely from tumor thrombus.
Conclusion: Patients with volume overload should be evaluated for both heart failure and presence of a potential thrombus. Point-of-care ultrasound and other imaging modalities play crucial roles in early diagnosis. Prompt identification and differentiation between bland and tumor thrombi are vital for appropriate management, potentially improving patient outcomes.
