The detection of tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava (IVC) has important prognostic and therapeutic implications. Recent reports have suggested that computed tomographic (CT) scanning can accurately and noninvasively detect IVC tumor thrombus. The potential limitations of CT in evaluating IVC tumor thrombus have not been stressed. In this report, these limitations are discussed and illustrative cases are presented.
