Cases of a retroperitoneal tumor with double inferior vena cava (IVC) are rarely reported. The present report documents a case of a retroperitoneal lymphoma with double IVC, and discusses its embryological, clinical and radiological significance. In addition, previous cases of a double IVC are reviewed. In the present report, a 52-year-old male patient was hospitalized for a retroperitoneal lymphoma tumor and double IVC. CT urography was performed, whilst a three-dimensional visualization model was also established based on CT data, to reveal a retroperitoneal tumor with double IVC. The present case involved a double IVC with interiliac vein, which was type 2b from the left IVC. The retroperitoneal tumor was identified to be a lymphoma measuring 116x83 mm by percutaneous puncture biopsy. Surgical treatment is generally not recommended for lymphoma. Therefore, this patient was transferred to the Hematology Department for treatment according to the lymphoma management guidelines. The size of the tumor was reduced after chemotherapy during the patient's follow-up. In conclusion, the three-dimensional visualization model can directly and accurately present the anatomical features of the double IVC and its surrounding tissue structure. In addition, variations in the features of IVC can have important clinical significance. It is also important for surgeons, interventional radiologists and clinicians to understand such abnormalities in anatomical features to avoid misdiagnosis and reduce the occurrence of serious intraoperative complications.

The advancement of stereoregular polymerization techniques for linear 1,3-dienes has enabled the production of polymers with precise stereocontrol, influencing their physical and chemical properties significantly. While 1,3-butadiene and isoprene yield diverse stereoregular polymers, cyclic dienes have received less attention due to catalyst challenges and limited application in the rubber industry. However, the growing interest in bio-based monomers, particularly those derived from terpenes and terpenoids, has revitalized interest in cyclic monomers with conjugated double bonds.

This case report presents a rare incidental finding of a double portal system in a patient, discovered during an abdominal imaging study before undertaking surgical treatment for common bile duct (CBD) stones. The report provides a detailed account of the anatomical features of the double portal system observed in the patient. The clinical implications of this finding are significant, as it necessitates careful consideration during surgical planning or interventional radiology procedures to prevent inadvertent damage to the vascular structures.

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the third most prevalent vascular disease worldwide, seriously threatening human health. Baicalin, a flavonoid isolated from the roots of , has been identified to play a crucial role in various vascular diseases. The study aimed to explore the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of baicalin in DVT.

Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly. It usually occurs on the right side and cases on the left side without accompanying conditions such as situs inversus or double inferior vena cava (IVC) are uncommon. Instances of left retrocaval ureter without situs inversus or double IVC are rarely reported in the literature, and there are no cases presented sonographically.

Also, evaluating major vascular structures should not be dismissed in non-contrast-enhanced CT as it can provide valuable information about these structures.
Abstract: Double IVC is a rare occurrence of IVC anatomical variations and congenital anomalies.
