Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Inferior vena cava obstruction (IVCO) is a poorly characterized complication of metastatic germ cell tumor (GCT). The authors identified 31 cases to describe the clinical features, radiologic findings, complications, and treatment of this clinical entity. METHODS:Patients with GCT and IVCO were identified from case records of a GCT database. The records of 333 male patients with metastatic GCT (27% with seminoma and 73% with nonseminomatous GCTs) were screened for either clinical or computed tomography (CT) scan evidence of inferior vena cava compression or involvement. RESULTS:Thirty-one patients were identified (9.3% of patients with metastatic GCT). Common presenting symptoms were leg swelling and dilated abdominal wall veins. Approximately 29% of patients had thromboembolic complications and there was a single case of fatal pulmonary embolism. Nine patients had no clinical features at presentation but either had CT scan evidence of IVCO or developed symptoms during treatment. Right-sided testicular primary tumors were associated more frequently with IVCO compared with left-sided primary tumors (14% vs. 4% of cases of metastatic GCT, respectively). All patients had an abdominal mass measuring > 5 cm in maximum transverse dimension. CONCLUSIONS:The authors recommend careful clinical and radiologic evaluation for the presence of IVCO in cases of bulky metastatic GCT. A high index of suspicion must accompany the evaluation of a patient with a right-sided primary testicular tumor and a paracaval abdominal mass measuring > 5 cm in maximum transverse dimension. When IVCO is identified, prophylactic anticoagulation is recommended.
