  ABSTRACT: Although invasion of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) into the inferior vena cava is common, pulmonary tumor embolism is rare. We present a case of a pulmonary tumor embolism from type II papillary renal cell carcinoma successfully treated using a staged approach. Such staged procedures are particularly effective in cases of massive renal tumors. Pulmonary tumor embolectomy using normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass is considerably less invasive than under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
