Abstract

Edema, ascites, and engorgement of the collateral superficial circulation, which would indicate the presence of obstruction of the inferior vena cava, were present in only 2 of the 7 cases. Extension of the tumor thrombus into the right auricle occurred in 2 cases. Thrombosis of the hepatic veins and metastatic involvement of the liver with impaired liver function occurred in 1 case.
