    The Journal of Urology
    |December 11, 1976

    Summary

    Urologists often treat adult polycystic kidney disease or horseshoe kidney. This report details the rare simultaneous occurrence of both congenital kidney disorders in one patient, including surgical preparation for renal transplantation.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD) and horseshoe kidney are common congenital renal anomalies.
    • Urologists frequently manage patients with either APKD or horseshoe kidney individually.

    Observation:

    • Simultaneous occurrence of both APKD and horseshoe kidney in a single patient is exceptionally rare.
    • This case highlights the diagnostic and management challenges posed by co-existing congenital kidney disorders.

    Findings:

    • The study presents the first known case report of a patient with both adult polycystic kidney disease and horseshoe kidney.
    • Surgical intervention, specifically nephrectomy, was performed in preparation for renal transplantation.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of congenital renal anomaly presentations.
    • It underscores the importance of thorough diagnostic evaluation in complex urological cases.
    • Management strategies for combined renal anomalies may require tailored approaches, particularly in transplantation contexts.
