A 55-year-old female patient with a neoplasm of right kidney accompanied by IVC tumor thrombus. She underwent robot-assisted IVC transection. a Intra-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) reveals that there is no perfusion area on the head side of the tumor thrombus, and co-existence of tumor thrombus and bland thrombus? b Post-operative morphology shows yellow tissue on the head side of the tumor thrombus (arrows). c Post-operative pathology reveals necrotic tissue on the head side of tumor thrombus. IVC = inferior vena cava, TT = tumor thrombus, BT = bland thrombus, NT = necrosis
