Polycystic horseshoe kidney, a rare congenital anomaly, combines horseshoe kidney and adult polycystic kidney disease. This case report adds to the limited literature on this exceptionally uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Embryology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Horseshoe kidney is a common renal fusion anomaly with an incidence of 1 in 400 live births.
  • Adult polycystic kidney disease (APKD) is an autosomal-dominant hereditary disorder affecting 1 in 1,000-5,000 individuals.
  • The concurrence of these two conditions, polycystic horseshoe kidney, is exceedingly rare.

Observation:

  • This report details an additional case of polycystic horseshoe kidney.
  • The incidence of polycystic horseshoe kidney is estimated between 1 in 134,000 to 1 in 8,000,000 cases.

Findings:

  • The study contributes to the sparse existing literature on polycystic horseshoe kidney.
  • Highlights the extreme rarity of this combined renal anomaly.

Implications:

  • Further research into the genetic and developmental pathways of polycystic horseshoe kidney may be warranted.
  • Understanding this rare condition can aid in diagnosis and management strategies for affected individuals.
