A 47-year-old male patient with a neoplasm of right kidney accompanied by IVC tumor thrombus. He underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic IVC transection. a CEUS reveals the tumor thrombus is enhanced synchronously with the IVC wall and the continuity of the IVC wall is poor (arrows), suggesting the presence of wall invasion; b postoperative morphology shows the involvement of vascular wall by tumor thrombus (arrows); c postoperative pathology shows that the tumor thrombus has invaded the IVC wall (arrows)
