Abstract
A 50-year-old man with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome who had undergone repeated tumor enucleation and transcatheter arterial embolization for multiple renal cell carcinomas (RCC) was referred to our hospital for percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) of an RCC of 42 mm in the midpole region of the right kidney. Transcatheter arterial embolization was planned prior to devascularize the RCC and selective angiography revealed parasitic arterial supply to the tumor by the ileocecal artery. Parasitic arterial supply to RCCs, particularly in patients with history of nephron-sparing treatment, can originate even from an intraperitoneal source and may lead to unexpected embolization.
